Job description

About Us

Applecart is the leading technology company that C‑suite leaders rely on to reach business‑critical decision makers. The most important decisions are made by the hardest people to reach and influence. Historically, C‑suite leaders have lacked the tools to reach the stakeholders who matter most to them. The C‑suite leaders of hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, major agencies, trade associations, non‑profits, and governments use Applecart to put their best content in front of business‑critical decision makers and those they trust — from policymakers and investors to CEOs, key employees, members of the media and more. Decision makers are informed by what they read, learn from advisors, hear from colleagues, and discuss with family and friends. To break through to them, you must reach them through the only channel that really moves them: those they know and trust. Applecart’s platform uses publicly available data to map billions of social relationships between nearly every adult in the United States and enable clients to deliver content directly to decision makers and those who matter most to them.

We are hiring a Systems Engineer in our New York City office.
