Most everyone is still in the “new year, new me” phase, and one of the best ways to reshape yourself is to start a new job. New York is full of opportunities, but there is no one-size-fits-all route to take. For example, those considering starting a family will naturally prioritize companies with a sterling family leave policy. Someone interested in disruption will gravitate toward startups working in decidedly non-tech fields. Even those who just want to join a “fast-growing company” need to be judicious as not all such organizations are scaling at the same rate.
The above aren’t just random examples. They’re a few of the factors that make our featured NYC tech companies of the month stand out from the crowd. Continue reading to learn more about this crop of businesses and to find out if any of them are a fit for you.
What they do: Dandy is a healthtech startup whose goal is to help dentists go digital. No, it’s not working to create avatars for metaverse-based dentists. Instead, Dandy offers dentists intraoral scanners — a device that creates a digital impression of teeth and gums — paired with software for processing orders for dentures, nightguards, crowns and more.
Let’s grow: Dandy currently has more than 50 open roles, with half of those roles in sales and operations. The sales and ops roles range from entry-level positions like business development representative and operations associate to much more senior roles, like commercial area sales director and head of operations.
Hyper-growth veterans: Dandy’s leadership has a wealth of experience building hyper-growth companies such as Uber, DataDog, Flexport and more. Co-founder Toni Oloko was employee 20 at GoPuff, COO Jerry Tang was head of operations for Flexport, and CFO Adam Kosmicki is the former CFO for Getaround.
What they do: NS1 is basically the company that powers some of the internet’s biggest companies. NS1 specializes in optimizing web traffic, which has become much trickier as applications are run on-premise, in the cloud and in hybrid setups and accessed by users around the world on many different devices.
Support for parents: For many, work often stands in the way of starting a family due to poor or nonexistent parental leave policies. NS1 is working to take work out of that decision by offering up to 18 weeks of parental leave, 12 of which can be taken consecutively.
Directors wanted: NS1 is currently looking to fill three director positions, two on the product team and one for the marketing org. The marketing role is for a director/sr. director of channel and event marketing, which requires more than 10 years of experience in a similar role and experience as a channel marketing leader.
The roles on the product team are for a director of product management and sr. director/VP of product management, with the former requiring over five years of PM or product marketing experience and the latter over 10 years of experience, along with more than five years of experience leading teams.
What they do: Back Market is a marketplace for refurbished digital devices and home products. The company sells a wide range of devices, including smartphones, digital cameras and Roombas.
Can’t stop, won’t stop (raising): Back Market has raised massive funding rounds three years in a row. According to Crunchbase data, the company closed a $120 million Series C in 2020 and a $335 million Series D in 2021, with its most recent round a $510 million Series E that closed this January. For those wondering, Back Market’s valuation now stands at an eye-popping $5.7 billion.
Put in the time, take time off: Back Market is headquartered in Paris and takes what could be described as a “European approach” to PTO. Employees receive a max of 25 days of time off based on years of service.
