Software Engineer, Data Team

It's an exciting time at Crossbeam. We built our company on a simple but powerful realization: ecosystems hold untapped potential to transform how companies go to market. That insight became a movement, now embraced by more than 30,000 companies using Crossbeam to turn partnerships into a primary growth engine. We're scaling with speed, focus, and a vision that's reshaping the future of go-to-market, backed by top-tier investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Insight Partners, Redpoint, FirstMark, Salesforce Ventures, and HubSpot Ventures (yep, the biggest CRMs are investing in the future of go-to-market).

The opportunity ahead is exciting, and we're pursuing it with curiosity, high standards, and a shared commitment to doing the best work of our careers.

What is Crossbeam ?

Crossbeam is the first and largest Ecosystem-Led Growth platform. We act as an escrow service for data, allowing companies to find overlapping customers and prospects with their partners while keeping the rest of their data private and secure. Companies use this data to sell more effectively, market to the right audiences, build the right products, collaborate with their service partners, generate demand, inform M&A, and more. This has created an entirely new way of doing business called "Ecosystem-Led Growth" or ELG-and it works: 40% of our customers' closed deals come from their ecosystem.

Our Core Values

Values are a social contract that we have with our team, our users, and our communities. They are guiding lights as well as argument-enders, and we expect results delivered in a way that is consistent with these values.

Trust is our Foundation

We create value by building trust in our company, our team, and our technology. That goes in all directions, not just between us and our customers but also amongst ourselves. We approach conflict with empathy and curiosity, and ascribe best intentions to all of our collaborators.

Work Hard and Smart

This is a startup, and we will act like one. We prioritize impact, take personal ownership of outcomes, act decisively, and get our hands dirty in the process. We communicate clearly, avoid over-engineering, and take risks. This allows us to be creative, innovative, and solution-oriented.

Default to Transparency

We will not succeed in information silos. We share the good, bad, and ugly about what is happening in our company, which requires us to pay attention, always measure what matters, and hold each other accountable.

Belonging

In our workplaces, communities, and ecosystems, we shape environments where people feel a sense of belonging. To do this, we work to ensure that stakeholders of all backgrounds are treated equitably and experience psychological and physical safety. This is key to their relationship with our company, their access to opportunities, and their ability to thrive.

Treasure the Fun

We are incredibly lucky to be here - let's make memories. We will all spend that extra bit of time and energy to energize each other with fun and inspiring experiences. This applies internally and externally, from the smallest interactions to the largest events.

Crossbeam's core value of Equity sits at the heart of our hiring process, and we're proud to be building a culture where differences are valued. Applicants from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
