We are Narrative Science, the leader in automated narrative generation for the enterprise. Powered by artificial intelligence, our QuillTM platform analyzes data from disparate sources, understands what is important to the end user and then automatically generates perfectly written narratives, customized to the intended audience, at unlimited scale.  

Our goal is to quickly get people to that “aha” moment, without the need for vague interpretation or conjecture. QuillTM exists thanks to a team of creative, intelligent, and passionate individuals- and we’re looking for another person to join our ranks.  

We are seeking a motivated Software Engineer who can develop and maintain software to support our client-specific data processing pipelines, and further build out our platform by implementing new features.

We are looking for someone who’s creative, flexible, and determined. You will be working closely with our professional services team to gather technical requirements and will be helping expand and improve upon our existing data software and methodologies to make things quicker, easier, and better.
