Company insights
“When I joined Jungle Scout 4 years ago I was surprised to see how much they have built with such a small team and, during all these years, I noticed the main reason for that was: everyone here loves what they do! From Engineering to Customer Support, it all feels like we are part of something bigger, with a real impact on other people’s lives. As a remote contractor worker since day 1, it was amazing to see how everyone is treated the same, no matter where you’re from or where you live. You always feel like an important part of the company and have the same career growth opportunities as everyone else.” – Armando Rocha, Engineering Team Lead, Brazil
