Tech leaders from around the U.S. described the projects they’re working on this year — and why you should join them.

There’s rarely been a better time to start a new job. 

Companies are desperate to add new team members, tech talent is thin on the ground and for those who are looking, opportunities abound to do some of the best work of your career. With so many opportunities out there, where do you even start to gauge who’s worth sending an application to? 

The answer: right here. 

Built In asked 11 companies from across the U.S. to tell us what their tech teams are working on right now, what they’ve got planned for the rest of the year and what keeps their employees coming back day after day, year after year. From game-changing edtech platforms to freight automation to NFT marketplaces, these are the projects you can dive into right now — with some accompanying perks thrown in for good measure.

Product roadmap

“Our team’s top priority this year is accelerating data-driven decision-making across the firm,” Head of Data and Intelligence Mutisya Ndunda said. “To deliver on this goal, we are solving a range of exciting and challenging technical problems. We’re developing data applications that drive meaningful business insights, leveraging state-of-the-art ELT solutions like DBT, data observability and semantic data modeling. We’re building a data platform in BigQuery enabling exascale governed access to terabytes of daily data ingested from many batch and real-time data silos including Kafka, Postgres, MSSQL and external APIs. We’ll be enhancing our analytics capabilities by leveraging advanced machine learning techniques to improve our trading solutions and end-user experiences. We are partnering with AWS and Google Cloud Platform to develop advanced machine learning models using deep graph neural networks, recommender systems and time series forecasting models. We’re also optimizing time-to-insight, making development environments first-class citizens in our data warehouse through fine-grained permissions, comprehensive integration testing and a flexible, Python-based development kit. And finally, we’re instituting proactive alerting on bad or missing data using both statistical analysis of time series and comprehensive testing.”
