Company Description

We’re an award-winning event management startup looking to hire a Lead Software Engineer who wants to impact a product that is influencing the future of work.

ABOUT OUR PLATFORM: Our software helps companies manage and measure the impact of their employee engagement programs. Think of us as SurveyMonkey meets Eventbrite for the enterprise world. We’re revolutionizing the future of work by giving ERG Leaders and HR managers visibility into their employee engagement and cultural initiatives.

This space is a $74B market growing 12% year over year with companies seeking to make the link between work culture and business success. However, less than 10% of companies actually know the ROI on their engagement efforts. Five to Nine is positioned to solve for this gap by leveraging employee feedback and providing insights on initiatives to better understand their results.

MORE ABOUT US: We are founded by two diverse women who are passionate about cultivating belonging in the workplace. We are invested in by top VCs such as Kapor Capital (also invested in Uber/Twilio) and by financial institutions like Morgan Stanley (also helped Slack amp; Zoom go enterprise). We were just named the recipients of the inaugural Google for Startups’ Black Founders Fund. Some of our customers are Masterclass, Doordash, and Figma. We’ve been featured in Vice, Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, Marketwatch, among others.
