InsightSquared is a well-funded Cambridge startup. We're building a simple yet powerful app that helps hundreds of small businesses make smarter decisions with analytics and visualizations from dozens and ultimately hundreds of sources. We help them grow their business and take down their bigger, slower competition.

We assemble in small product teams that work fast, have fun, and ship often. Your team of engineering, product, and creative peers will drive the operational and strategic decisions needed to move forward. We build on a modern platform (Python/Django). We ship code to production not just daily, but a dozen+ times per day. We test quickly, learn fast, iterate fast, and focus on code that matters.

Please check out our dev blog (http://bit.ly/Pbw8ZT) to get a feeling for our culture. Don't trust us when we say we have the best culture in town. InsightSquared was named by Boston Business Journal in the top 25 small company Best Places to Work in Mass (http://bit.ly/YsWIrv). Drop by Friday after work for a craft brew from our kegerator and try to whip our CTO in ping pong.
