About Rogo

Rogo is a search application for finding, analyzing and visualizing data.

Our mission is to make data accessible to all, changing the way people work and analyze together. We’re focused on opening up access and empowering teams to think, feel, and work in a data-driven way.

Data needs a new interface. Natural language is the most powerful, intuitive interface known to man. Rogo will be the way to work with data.

Rogo is creating that new interface for experiencing data. We’re not focused on incremental improvements & functionality for the global, existing 15M data analysts and BI-literate. Data is so much larger than just data analysts. We’re focused on bringing another billion people to the starting line with data**.** Data is power, and we believe everyone should be self-empowered.

About the Role

We are an engineering-heavy team of 10 and want someone to come onboard and spend 100% of their time living and breathing our product. We are building a search-based data analytics platform and need to balance nuanced product tradeoffs––highly intuitive search & querying, sophisticated analytics, opinionated data workflows, and personalizable analytic flexibility. If that sounds like a lot, it's because it is. We're building the future of data analytics and we need smart people who are passionate about building incredible technology.
