Software Engineer

About Baton
We're building America's small business marketplace. Baton is supercharged by data to support business owners and potential buyers through the historically opaque and illiquid $11 trillion small business acquisition market.
We're looking for people who take real pride in their work and are willing to stand up for customers, even when that means asking tough questions or sharing hard truths. Who are humble enough to look at data with an open mind, but ambitious enough to dream big when the opportunity presents itself.
We aim to build and maintain a team that's as diverse as the people who use our products. That's why our hiring process looks at the whole person and their potential along with the skills and experience that jump off the screen.
Baton is backed by Bloomberg Beta, Giant, Trust Fund, WndrCo, and a syndicate of world-class investors.
