Job description

About Rundoo โ„น
Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery-these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems.

  • You document your work well, in a manner that support reproducibility of your work.
  • You are able to learn how to work with different APIs or tools on your own.

Bonus points
  • Experience in research environments using data to answer real-world problems.
