Merge is building a unified API platform that enables B2B software companies to quickly integrate with dozens of HR, payroll, accounting, ticketing, and CRM systems. By providing a single API to authenticate with multiple providers, normalize data models, and sync data bidirectionally, Merge makes it easy for developers to build and maintain integrations with the software their customers already use. This saves significant time and resources across engineering, sales, partnerships, and customer success teams.

The company was founded in 2020 by Shensi Ding and Gilbert Feig, who met as students at Columbia and later worked at enterprise software startups where they both encountered the challenges of building and maintaining integrations firsthand. Realizing this was a widespread problem that cost companies millions of dollars in engineering time each year, they started Merge to create a solution that allows companies to quickly integrate with their customers' existing tools and data. Merge has grown rapidly, growing ARR 30x in 2020 and over 7,000 customers.

With $75M in funding, including a $55M Series B in October 2022, Merge is well-positioned to expand its unified API platform to more software categories. By providing a critical integration layer for B2B software, Merge has the potential to become an essential part of the tech stack for thousands of SaaS companies. Joining Merge's growing team across San Francisco and New York, you would be signing up for an attractive risk-reward tradeoff at a company that has found product-market fit, but is still early enough to likely experience significant growth in the coming years. The key will be Merge's ability to continue executing on its product roadmap and providing a high-quality developer experience as it scales.
