The DealRoom Story:
The idea for DealRoom began in a small office in downtown Chicago in 2012. Our founder, Kison, was running a boutique M&A practice that focused on hospitality. He realized the standard technology available for M&A created inefficiencies such as team silos, duplicate work, and version control issues. He knew there had to be a better way and that the industry desperately needed a product purpose-built for M&A optimization. Kison’s goal was to disrupt the M&A process, for good. He saw a need for better technology that connected the entire lifecycle of a deal, from initial pipeline management to diligence to post-merger integration. The solution? DealRoom!


Description:
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to work on our M&A Lifecycle Management Platform! DealRoom Execution Suite is a unified platform for M&A optimization. It includes intuitive tools for pipeline management, due diligence, and post merger integration so that M&A teams have everything they need to manage deal lifecycle in one location, reducing misalignment and driving efficiency.



Our Mission: To disrupt M&A for good.
At DealRoom, we’re a community of forward thinking M&A practitioners on a mission to perfect the M&A process. We support teams with the unique combination of an open community, comprehensive educational resources, and innovative software products that help you navigate the modern day complexities of M&A transactions with confidence. 

Our Values: Our culture is the heart of our success and our values guide everything we do at DealRoom.

Deliver the WOW!

• We always WOW our customers, partners, and teammates. How? By being faster - faster to respond, faster to plan, and faster to execute. By pushing for continuous improvement, innovation, and growth in everything we do. And by disrupting the status quo (in a good way) to deliver solutions and experiences that WOW.

Be Kind and Direct!

• We are a team. We trust, support, and care deeply about each other. We assume positive intent. We collaborate, debate, and disagree and commit. We treat each other the way we ourselves would want to be treated (golden rule). And being kind also means we are open, honest, and direct with one another at all times by communicating with radical candor.

Own It!

We take pride in what we do and our desire to win. We love being accountable for delivering results - and when we encounter obstacles, we always find a way. We have fun and get shit done. We’re smart about how we spend our time and money (frugal, not cheap). And we operate with the greater good of our customers and the company in mind.
