Banjo is looking for a Patent Agent to add to our team in Park City.

The idea for Banjo started when its Founder, Damien Patton, missed connecting with a life-long friend because of unstructured and isolated data.

Over the past 7 years, Banjo has continued to pioneer technology that reinvents what's possible in a truly connected world.

Most companies have a mission statement. Banjo has a mission - To save lives and reduce human suffering by getting everyone live, validated information so they can make better decisions, faster.

With Banjo you will know more, so you can do more. Imagine how our world will change when decision makers know exactly what is happening, where it is happening, the moment it happens.

As a Patent Agent, you will actively work to protect a variety of cutting edge technologies in computer and data science. You will have an opportunity to work directly with members of Banjo’s engineering team to identify subject matter worthy of patent protection. You will also assist Banjo’s Patent Attorney in implementing corporate patent protection strategies to continue the expansion of Banjo’s quickly growing patent portfolio.

It doesn’t matter what school you went to or what company you worked for in the past. What matters is that you are passionate about what you do, you work well with a team, and you love a challenge.

We are a team of big thinkers and doers. We don’t talk about things, we make them happen. In record time. Speed is a requirement but so is precision. We work smarter and harder. We are solving one of the world’s biggest problems - making the world’s disparate data purposeful….in live time.
