60 Decibels is a tech-powered impact measurement company that makes it easy to listen to the people who matter most. We've been in business as an independent entity since early 2019, when we spun out of the global Impact Investor Acumen.

We believe that the best way to understand social impact is by talking to the people experiencing that impact. It sounds obvious when you say it, but that is not the typical practice for many impact investors, corporations and foundations working to create social change. 

We collect social impact data directly from beneficiaries (customers / employees / suppliers) using our network of 1000+ trained research assistants in 75+ countries. We do it quickly and without the fuss typically associated with measuring social impact. Our research assistants speak directly to customers to understand their lived experience; and our team turns all this data into benchmarked social performance reports, with accompanying insights, to help our clients demonstrate and improve social performance. 

By making impact measurement simple, scalable, and comparable, we not only enable organizations to improve their products and services; we also help transform what it means to credibly measure impact, ensuring that the voices of those who matter most are always part of the story.

Front-end Developer

For any company, whether you’re manufacturing athletic shoes, selling medical devices, or developing cloud-based software — talent is the most important piece to the long-sought-after puzzle to long-term success. This is why we're building NurtureBox. Software is eating the world and the next generation of successful companies need top tech talent to differentiate from the competition. But most are wanting in the apropos hiring practices to attract the crème de la crème. Building a crack team today requires a different approach. One that’s built on the first principles of sales. There is no other company in the world that sees recruiting the way we do.

NurtureBox is an AI-powered platform that fundamentally disrupts how recruitment is done. We are building solutions that help Talent teams automate mundane tasks. More often than not recruiters are drowned in repetitive tasks instead of focussing on high-end work — selling the job and engaging with candidates. We’re laser-focused on fixing this! A new-age toolchain that empowers recruiters to operate in 10x mode. This is a hands-on, high-profile role that will be pivotal in the company's future success.

We're going after hiring; the one activity that consumes more of a company’s mind share than anything else. We are building toolchains for recruitment teams to close top talent in record time. What will make you stand out: ● A hammer to break the application and hand it back to the developer ● Strong problem solving and analytical skills with attention to detail ● `Ability to implement and track multiple test executions in parallel and analysis results Do the best work of your life

⭐ NurtureBox is a startup born out of Ideas2IT. At Ideas2IT we’ve built products for Facebook, Oracle, Siemens, Medtronics, Roche, eBay, Microsoft, and Zynga. We founded PipeCandy (raised $1.1M in seed funding) and Element5 (closed a recent funding round successfully with oversubscription a few months ago). This time, we're swinging beyond the fences. We are building another household brand and a worldwide organization. We are here to do the best work of our lives, and we hope you are too.

Why should you work with us? 🤔 ● Opportunity to be a part of a SaaS business from the ground up with the ability to influence the product and architecture ● You’ll have an opportunity to work side by side with the founders & create an impact on how reps around the world engage with their customers, not a small cog in a big machine ● Enjoy all the perks of working at a startup without worrying about the associated risks ● You’ll get to work in an informal, collaborative, transparent, non-hierarchical, ego-free culture which is a true meritocracy.
