💎 ABOUT NIVODA
Nivoda is the operating system for the global jewellery industry. We connect diamond and gemstone suppliers directly with jewellery retailers across more than 70 countries, replacing a slow, offline, relationship-gated way of trading with a single digital marketplace. We're already powering over $300M in annual transactions, inside an industry worth more than $350B globally — and we're still early. Jewellery is one of the last major global industries to go digital, and we're the ones building the rails it will run on.
🤔 OUR MISSION
Diamond and gemstone trading has run for decades on fragmented networks, manual processes, and who-you-know relationships — which locks smaller and newer businesses out, and leaves even the biggest players losing time and margin to inefficiency. We started Nivoda to fix that: to give any jewellery business, wherever it is and whatever size it is, the same access, pricing transparency, and ease of trading as an industry giant. Our mission is to make buying and selling diamonds and gemstones radically simpler, everywhere in the world.
⭐️ THE DISCOVERY POD
You'd be joining the Discovery Pod 🔍 — the team that decides how hundreds of thousands of diamonds and gemstones actually get found. That means ranking, recommendations, and search input: from the core search and filtering experience, to Contextual Search and a planned conversational assistant, to image-upload search that lets a buyer find a match from a photo. The same ranking and recommendation engine you'll build has to serve both Nivoda's own marketplace and the many individually branded storefronts jewellers run through our SAAS products. We're a small, high-ownership team and this pod is building the AI-powered product itself, not just using AI tools to go faster.
