About BankruptcyWatch
Bankruptcy represents a "fresh start" for millions of consumers and businesses experiencing the hardest circumstances and struggling to stay afloat. Unfortunately, the systems and technology that underpin the U.S. Bankruptcy system are cumbersome and difficult–making bankruptcy that much harder for everyone involved. At BankruptcyWatch, we are building the next era of bankruptcy where bankruptcy operations are easy, understandable, safe, streamlined, and unceremonious. We do this through our powerful API-first platform.

- Hands-On Learning: We’re looking for new graduates excited to jump into a fast-paced environment. You’ll receive training and mentorship from industry professionals.
- Technical Growth: Develop your technical skills by working with real APIs, learning basic debugging, and contributing to product improvements. We invest in certifications, conference attendance, and hands-on training to keep your skills on the cutting edge. We also have growth tracks into development and leadership roles.
- Collaborative Culture: Engage directly with clients, product managers, and engineers. We value open communication and teamwork in solving everyday challenges.
- Meaningful Impact: Be part of transforming bankruptcy—your contributions will help clients streamline a historically complex process.

4. Documentation & Process Improvement
