At SinglePlatform, we’re helping small businesses get discovered by allowing them to reach customers everywhere across the online universe. This means that the mom and pop coffee shop on the corner can have the same reach as the big guys from Seattle. And you can be a part of making that happen.


Our engineering team is small, agile and smart. We’ve had a great launch and now we’re building the tools to keep growing. We’re re-engineering our API to make it faster, smoother, and more scalable. We’re building new products to increase our service offering to our customers and our publisher partners. We’re writing clean, awesome, sleek code and having a great time doing it.


Our platform is built using Python, Django, Tornado, PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB, hosted in the cloud. That said, we believe in using the right tool for the job.

Why you care:

Simply put, SinglePlatform just might be the best place you’ll ever work. We combine a high-energy, fast-paced start-up culture with the stability of being a part of the Constant Contact family. Simply put, this means that you’ll get to be a part of the story of building the SinglePlatform business to legendary proportions but you still have the security of being backed by a publicly traded company who has already created a legacy of its own.


Do we work hard? You bet. We’re here to help small businesses get new customers and grow their own businesses, and we take that mission seriously. We’re data and numbers driven and we never stop inventing ways to be better.


Do we have fun? Oh yeah. Even though we take what we do seriously, we have a great time doing it. Regular company happy hours, casual work environment, awesome company events, amazing benefits and perks are just some of the highlights of working at SinglePlatform.
