Your Team:
Our newly formed API team is part of the Content Discovery area. We help users of our platform and customers of our API to find the insights they are looking for. The API layer that our team develops is an integral part of Statista and is currently gaining a lot of traction. For example, companies are starting to use our data to train and fine-tune large language models and other Internet platforms connect to our APIs to enable their users to discover Statista insights. There is a lot that we still need to develop and luckily, we have a lot of freedom to do so. It is a perfect moment to join our team and help shaping Statista’s API products.
