NewtonX has raised $47M in funding from VCs like Two Sigma Ventures, Third Prime, XFund and Citi Ventures.

About The Role

As one of the most senior engineers at NewtonX, you’ll be instrumental in driving both technical and strategic direction on NewtonX’s technology platforms. With a high velocity team at your disposal you will have responsibility and autonomy to shape the direction of the entire business with features that cut to the core of what users want. 

You'll work directly with executives at NewtonX to build a platform that unlocks insights for users in an industry still focused on quarterly batches of expensive data. You will own constructing the next generation of technology needed for human-forward quantitative data about opinions: which we believe will become even more important as AI expands. 

You’ll work closely with Design, Product, and our users to build the highest quality product with timelines on the order of weeks and months, not quarters and years. You will still code on occasion, but your most impactful work will be maximizing the quality and output of the code others write through mentorship, standards, and diligence.

Hub And Prime

We’re a small, agile team with huge opportunities for growth focused on building two complementary products: Hub and Prime.

We’re building Hub as the central cockpit for B2B research: turning today’s services into a productized, AI-powered pipeline. You’ll ship self-serve features that allow clients to move from question → answer → follow-up in days, not weeks. The mandate: a world-class quant experience that lets customers configure new work without sales intensive processes, explore results instantly, and surface smart upsells that compound into bigger engagements. Ultimately we want to be the data hub for clients that allows rapid access to insights, not just the data.

In Prime, you’ll scale syndicated B2B data into a modern subscription product: standing up longitudinal trackers, recurring insight streams, and frequently refreshed dashboards/data feeds for underserved markets. The technical edge comes from fusing Prime’s repeatable, decision-grade datasets with each client’s own data in Hub, creating a compounding data moat and rapid insight loops that make NewtonX indispensable. You’ll build automated research products that allow us to always have fresh quantitative insights on opinions across a range of industries, powering the definitive approach to understanding the landscape of business. 

If you love building novel data systems that turn raw signals into defensible, high-margin products, this is where you’ll do the most important work of your career.
