The engineering team at Retain is the first to solve one of the hardest problems facing companies—helping teams understand what activities take up their time. Our team makes sense of millions of data points across our customers and hundreds of work applications. Enterprises like Google, Nielsen, and Salesforce trust Retain to create actionable insights across all customer teams. Although we work with the world’s largest enterprises, we are a small team that prides itself in moving fast and pushing the cutting edge of technology with every release. If you’re interested in helping companies move from the stone age of analytics, and you’re motivated by complex technical challenges, we’d love to talk.
