You're looking for a role where you can drive decisions, be challenged, and help in building a company and a team. You want to collaborate with smart, creative, and energetic people. You’re comfortable with being uncomfortable. You are always looking to learn and go above and beyond what is asked. You are comfortable wearing many hats. You’re creative. And if this sounds like you, you sound like someone we want on our team.

New Knowledge is a fast-growing technology company that is revolutionizing the way companies understand disinformation, misinformation and fake news as a cyber security problem, and brands are under attack.

We build products that repair online communities, identify manipulation, and help them communicate more authentically. In a world where social media is being manipulated on a massive scale, this is no small task. We care about protecting communities, brands, and companies from being targeted by the spreading of disinformation. The kind of people who work with us have to be passionate about that challenge and mission.
