What We Value

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values:

Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead.
Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up.
Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business.
Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes.

Built In is an equal employment opportunity employer and values diversity. Qualified candidates are considered for employment without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, military or veteran status, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Helping job seekers find their dream career

Many of our employees used Built In to find their current career, and it’s that empathy that drives the tech and product team to build and iterate with the user always in mind. What started as Rob asking simple questions about user preferences has turned into an all-hands attempt to make job searching more personalized and fulfilling than ever before.

The team is growing and changing so quickly. We’re facing a lot of challenges and opportunities as a team for the first time, which is a natural effect of doubling in size, but everyone is open and willing to lean on each others’ previous experience.

DATA PIPELINE

A humble leader, committed to innovation

When Peter took the helm of Built In’s tech side of the house, the engineering team was admittedly small. In just over a year, he’s transformed the organization and scaled his team to build a tool the tech industry has never seen before. Today, his team is hammering out a data pipeline to better match job seekers with the tech careers of their dreams, an “awesome and humbling mission to have,” Peter says.

My main priority as a leader is alignment: Is everyone on the same page with what we’re trying to accomplish? With how we’re trying to accomplish it? Alignment starts at the highest level and goes all the way down. If we can’t all agree on what, where, why, when and how, we won’t be successful.

TECH STACK

Solving new problems with new frameworks

To ensure Built In offers users first-rate experiences, Charlie and his fellow engineers are encouraged to learn about the latest and greatest frameworks on the market — it was Go and Vue.js for Charlie — and apply them to their work. Built In’s engineers are given plenty of opportunities to explore new technologies and techniques, learn along the way and apply their findings to produce simple, effective solutions.

A successful engineer here does not need to have all the answers or have worked in every programming language or framework. However, one should be willing to learn and be humble enough to ask for help. Above all else, be a team player.

An Insider's view of Built In

What’s the vibe like in the office?

Good vibes are a top priority around here. You'll hear music played from our playlist that the entire company co-builds, you'll see a movie streaming on TV and, if you catch us at lunch, you'll see the entire office sitting at our communal table. We work hard every day but we always make time to spend together.

Adam

What does your typical day look like?

I am excited to work each day with a cross-functional team of intelligent, curious, driven and hilarious group of people. We’re working hard — and growing quickly — but we have a lot of laughs together, and a lot of respect for one another. It’s motivating and empowering.

Sarah

What are some things you learned at the company?

It’s pretty remarkable to experience an entire company operating as one team. At Built In, we tackle problems and achieve goals together, sharing in the responsibility of successes and downfalls alike.
