About NationGraph

Our world runs on public infrastructure, yet government data sits fragmented across thousands of portals, PDFs, and poorly designed databases. Finding relevant information like which city just put out an RFP, or which agency is buying a new software system often requires detective-level research. NationGraph’s mission is to end that detective work.

By automating data collection, normalizing records, building a knowledge graph with this data, and presenting them in a single, intuitive interface, we do for public procurement what Bloomberg did for finance and CoStar did for commercial real estate.

Our team works hard to simplify the complicated process of doing business with the government by building great software to solve a real problem.

  • Build and productionize end-to-end ML pipelines.

  • Mine data from the web through large-scale crawling and scraping to power our models and insights.

  • Transform unstructured text data into structured knowledge with NLP, entity recognition, and custom models.

  • Optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems used in our product.

  • Drive our data strategy by identifying new data sources.

  • Solve open-ended technical problems, teaching, learning, and iterating with the team.

  • Proficiency in Python

  • A strong sense of ownership and ability to work on open-ended technical problems to drive commercial impact

  • A passion for learning and growth, and for uncovering insights in complex data

At the same time, we’re flexible and supportive when working-from-home is needed to maintain a healthy, balanced work environment.
