About Us

People Data Labs (PDL) is the provider of people and company data. We do the heavy lifting of data collection and standardization so our customers can focus on building and scaling innovative, compliant data solutions. Our sole focus is on building the best data available by integrating thousands of compliantly sourced datasets into a single, developer-friendly source of truth. Leading companies across the world use PDL’s workforce data to enrich recruiting platforms, power AI models, create custom audiences, and more.

We are looking for individuals who can balance extreme ownership with a “one-team, one-dream” mindset. Our customers are trying to solve complex problems, and we only help them achieve their goals as a team. Our Delivery and API Team ensures our customers have access to standardized and high-quality data to build upon.

You will be crucial in accelerating our efforts to build standalone data products that enable data teams and independent developers to create innovative solutions at massive scale. In this role, you will be working with a team to continuously improve our existing APIs and delivery methods, as well as creating new ones.

If you are looking to be part of a team discovering the next frontier of data-as-a-service (DaaS) with a high level of autonomy and opportunity for direct contributions, this might be the role for you. We like our engineers to be thoughtful, quirky, and willing to fearlessly try new things. Failure is embraced at PDL as long as we continue to learn and grow from it.
