About Jobgether
Jobgether is building the job search platform for experienced professionals navigating the global remote job market.
We aggregate hundreds of thousands of opportunities from companies around the world, structure and enrich this data, and combine it with user profiles and preferences to help people identify the opportunities and companies where they have the strongest fit.
Data is at the core of our product. The quality of our job inventory, user data, enrichment systems and matching models directly determines the quality of the experience we provide.
We are a fully remote, international team focused on building a smarter and more effective way to search for work.
