Build infrastructure that operates where stakes are highest.
Merdot is a small, focused team building intelligence infrastructure for governments, crisis command centers and institutions that cannot afford to get information wrong. We hire people who understand that distinction.
“We are not a generic SaaS company. The problems are genuinely hard, the domain is consequential, and the work is visible. There is no layer of product management between an engineer and the intelligence teams using what they built.”
