Who We Are:

Label Insight was founded with the mission of helping consumers understand what’s in the products they use and consume. Our world class, venture backed, SaaS data platform is solving transparency for an entire industry. Our unique team is made up of talented engineers and data scientists who work alongside food scientists, nutritionists, and product formulation specialists to create powerful data enrichment and attribution tools.

Our engineering team consists of smart, dedicated, and creative team members. Each engineer has a desire to experiment with new and unfamiliar technology to solve their cross functional team's business objectives. We're passionate about best practices and strive to follow standards laid out before us. We also encourage our engineers to be involved in the community by participating in open source projects, speaking at local meetups, and presenting at national and international conferences.

Our Values:

  • Transparency: We’re transparent and open regarding our work.

  • Iteration and Innovation: We’re not afraid to challenge assumptions and make suggestions for better solutions, try new ideas, or take smart risks. We challenge the status quo, and feel safe to make mistakes knowing we can learn from them rather than repeat them.
  • Intellectual Honesty and Humility: We pursue the best answer, not proving ourselves right. We are aware of your own biases and admit when we’re wrong. We’re willing to ask for help when we need it.
  • Accountability: We take responsibility for our own work quality, problems and solutions, and how our actions affect those around us.
  • Quality Driven: We strive for quality in our work and our approach to our role. We make data-driven decisions.
