Our team hails from successful startups, leading tech companies and Fortune 100 enterprises.
Alloy.ai is committed to creating an inclusive culture, and we celebrate diversity of all kinds. Our network-based data platform is one of Alloy.ai’s core strategic assets. When we work with manufacturers, we are able to quickly integrate disparate information shared by their trading partners, including retailers, material suppliers, distributors and logistics providers, and we can do that up to an order of magnitude faster than other solutions.

This contractor role extends our implementation team and will interface with integration specialists, project managers and our engineering team.

You are adept at data analysis and data wrangling through programming (e.g. pandas, dplyr), database querying (SQL), or spreadsheets (Excel). You can successfully work independently on projects and deliver to deadlines.
You are intellectually curious, especially about data, and are constantly eager to find out how things work and how to fix them. You are a self-starter, and actively seek advice from other team members to maximize the quality of your work. You are an effective communicator both verbally and written with a knack for translating technical details to non-technical audiences.
