Cofactr is on a mission to make hardware as agile and scalable as software.
We’re leveraging better data and AI to build best-in-class tools for
electronics supply chain management. Cofactr is a single platform for
procurement, purchase, and management of electronic components that works
seamlessly with integrated logistics to assure that the physical management of
electronics parts is always responsible and efficient.
We're a Y Combinator W22 company with growing revenue and backed with
significant venture funding from VCs like Bain Capital Ventures.
The Team
The Cofactr team is innovative, creative, and collaborative, with diverse
professional backgrounds and a passion for solving big problems. We’re hiring
team members who are energized by the opportunity to make one of the most
complex challenges in the world, the global electronics supply chain, into a
scalable and intuitive tool. We value transparency and trust amongst our team
and translate this approach into our evolving product.
The Role
Our growing Data team connects Cofactr to the world’s electronics supply chain
data. The team builds our integration layer that seamlessly unites a broad
range of market participants into a single cohesive system, eliminating
complexity and overhead for users. At the center of that system sits a large-
scale knowledge base of electronic parts that differentiates Cofactr from
competitors in terms of data quality and coverage.
Your role will be dynamic, leveraging your skills in fullstack software
development to make key contributions to the data team. Your work will shape
how we use data to deliver value to the best brands in electronics. As Cofactr
is an early stage startup, the bounds of your role are flexible. While the
core problems you’ll tackle focus on center on data ingestion and tool
development, you’ll be expected to help across our stack as bottlenecks shift.
This is a great opportunity for a generalist who wants to tackle diverse
projects with creative freedom, driving innovation in the electronics supply
chain landscape.
