At Cogo Labs, we build startup companies from scratch.

We're not venture capitalists - we're a collaborative team of engineers, analysts, and entrepreneurs using innovative tools, big data, and intellectual curiosity to build a platform that spins up successful consumer internet businesses, fast. Our Engineering team moves equally fast, whether that's rolling our own or pulling in off the shelf commercial or open source tech to keep our startup platform both performant and fresh.

We work in cross-functional teams to maximize your exposure to the levers of success and give you opportunities to learn and contribute that go beyond your awesome technical expertise.

We are growing and we are looking for the best to come and grow with us!

How we work:

Expect to:

  • Scale and enhance Cogo's multi-channel Internet marketing systems
  • Build new APIs, services, and libraries that our new startups depend on daily to grow their businesses

  • Are fluent in at least two of the following: Go, Python, Java or C
  • Have experience architecting and building highly scalable, distributed systems
  • Prioritize work and provide accurate estimates for reaching business goals
  • Thrive in an agile, team-oriented environment

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities1. To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

If you already work for us, your answer will not be used against you in any way. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our employees to update their information every five years. You may voluntarily self-identify as having a disability on this form without fear of any punishment because you did not identify as having a disability earlier.

How do I know if I have a disability?

You are considered to have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment or medical condition that substantially limits a major life activity, or if you have a history or record of such an impairment or medical condition.

Examples of reasonable accommodation include making a change to the application process or work procedures, providing documents in an alternate format, using a sign language interpreter, or using specialized equipment.
