About The Trend Lab

The Trend Lab tracks the shifts shaping what comes next across business, technology, markets, culture, and consumer behavior.

We take a large volume of noisy signals and turn it into transparent, practical perspectives people can use to make better decisions. Our team works across disciplines to follow emerging developments and what they actually mean for industries and communities.

The Role

We are hiring a Software Engineer to build the machinery behind the research.

TTL's product is judgment, but judgment needs raw material. Someone has to pull in signals from a lot of messy sources, resolve them into something structured, make them searchable, and give our analysts tools that surface what matters instead of burying them in volume. That is this job.

Most of your work will be backend and data: ingestion pipelines, the APIs and services around them, the storage and search layer underneath, and the internal applications our analysts live in every day. Increasingly, that includes LLM-assisted summarization, classification, and retrieval,



where the interesting problem is not calling a model but knowing when to trust the output.

Your users sit next to you. Analysts will tell you directly when a tool is slow, wrong, or hiding the thing they needed, which is the fastest feedback loop an engineer can have.

What You Will Do

* Build and maintain the pipelines that pull signal data from external sources and keep it flowing.
* Design and build backend services and APIs on top of that data.
* Work on the storage, search, and retrieval layer that makes a large corpus usable.
* Build the internal tools analysts use to explore, tag, and write from the data.
* Develop features backed by LLMs for summarization, classification, and retrieval, and build the checks that keep them honest.
* Integrate external data providers and platforms.
* Own quality through tests, code review, monitoring, and debugging what breaks.
* Contribute to architecture decisions and doc
