Company Description

Build the next cool thing with us! Code Ninja is looking for talented developers for one of our start-ups, ImportGenius.

ImportGenius is the pioneer company in data analytics for the global import/export industry. Our trade data is used by import/export businesses the world over to gain an advantage over their competitors. The insights we produce using our trade data have been used by analysts and journalists to predict the iPhone launch even before the official announcement, track counterfeit money flowing into Venezuela, and most recently to discover priceless antiques being shipped out of Russia by oligarchs.

At ImportGenius we are always finding ways to build tools that allow our customers to discover powerful intelligence from global trade data.
