A place for brilliant minds

InQuartik gives our talented team a stage on which to shine. We have visions for every occupation. No matter what your strength is, you’ll find a place.

Be a Part of the Revolution

With expertise in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, and Psychology, our data science and engineering team process and transform patent and non-patent-literature data into actionable insights.

Intellectual Property drives and protects the innovative ideas. InQuartik strives to extract the real value of inventions with our search tools and AI-driven solutions. To achieve the goal, we develop the Machine Learning models from classic statistical models to modern deep learning models and use different programming languages such as R, Python, and Java to process the data. A growth mindset is necessary to build “state-of-the art” technologies. We are looking for passionate talents who are familiar with SQL and NoSQL databases to store the processed data, and distributed computing is frequently applied for processing and modeling.

Data Science

With the complex nature of patent and non-patent-literature data, our data scientists develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies that enable efficient management of all stages of the patent’s lifecycle. Challenges include Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing for patent/non-patent text, and Statistical Modeling for structured data. At InQuartik, you can grow your innovative AI technologies for the niche yet expanding IP, R&D and M&A world.

Data Engineering

Our data engineers provide Patentcloud with high-quality data to support all aspects of Patent Lifecycle Management. Data engineers continuously collect, process, and standardize the data from global sources, including AI-powered data generated by data scientists. We focus on accuracy, completeness, conformity, integrity, and availability for the processing of 100+ million patent documents from 90+ countries that are managed by our data engineers.

The Software Engineers are the pivotal roles that convert data and its insights into the actual presence of Patentcloud. While their backgrounds are diverse, to create a reliable platform for professionals’ use, we emphasize the intelligent presentation of the required details.

InQuartik provides a free, flat, and vigorous environment for our members. The nature of IP data and insights are complex. As a software engineer, you balance the platform’s responsiveness and the thoroughness of the information with innovative ideas. We welcome everyone to contribute creative ideas that make Patentcloud robust. We use Java, Vue, and Highchat to web-pack/build a SaaS Service on AWS cloud, from Maria DB to MongoDB, from Redis to CloudFront.

Frontend/ Backend/ Fullstack Software Engineering

InQuartik strives to create a groundbreaking IP platform for worldwide elites. While that may sound daunting, we have experienced field experts and the agile developing framework to support our software engineers. We need not only an innovative but also a robust product to reshape our users’ data-using behavior. To keep our quality promise to clients, we prefer using languages and databases proven to be reliable. However, to ensure our product’s thoroughness, we welcome every member to discover, test, and contribute new ideas. We also embrace experiences, which are made up of trials and the ability to learn. If you are a passionate person who wants to create products that forever change the belief of what technology can achieve, you may be the talent we are looking for.

Quality Assurance (QA) and Security Engineering

Accuracy, reliability, security — these are the yellow brick road to SaaS users’ subscription. QA and Security engineers look after Patentcloud by putting themselves into users’ shoes to assess performance. They test the current system, identify potential risks, and advise new structures or designs that perfect the products. Due to Patentcloud’s comprehensive design, QA and Security Engineers’ testing requirements are diverse. We expect the member to have strong technical skills, meticulous but creative approaches, excellent communication, and the belief of doing things right. If the descriptions fit you, we are more than happy to schedule an interview.

Concept, package, and process are three criteria that users give our product a hedge above other competitors. A good product design shows what a company perceives clients’ pain and how it approaches it. Our Product and Design members require high conceptual skills and strong pain-solving ability to manage the complex IP issues.

Product Manager takes care of the product logic, whereas UI/UX Design is in charge of human interaction. Patentcloud’s users scatter in very different industries with very different prior IP knowledge: they could be experienced experts or novice individuals. In other words, Patentcloud has to be thorough, intuitive, and resourceful to cover a wide range of use.

Product Management

Product Managers investigate client needs, define the features, articulate the final product, and turn the vision into a reality. InQuartik’s Product Managers are facing a product with very few references globally. With minimal prior references to our product, we work closely with IP and M&A professionals to delve deep into the pain points and build solutions. Besides the excellent communication skills and learning ability, we expect members to have data-verification skills, along with a fundamental understanding of SaaS and AI solutions, to excel in the work. While the requirements may look challenging, the Product team is trusted and highly empowered. Internally, they represent users and lead the product team from development to the market. Externally, they connect field experts and clients to raise the standard of products continuously. Here at InQuartik, we grow talents to experts.

UI/UX Design

What design highlights the analysis takeaways the best? Which elements to include to make the decision-making process informative but straightforward? The solutions our clients expect Patentcloud to provide are meticulous details with clear highlights. While flashy decors may be fascinating, the team focuses on structure and process. InQuartik’s designers understand our users through user research and usability tests, which may be qualitative or quantitative. After defining the needs, user flow, and overall experiences, we carefully assess the feasibility and usability. Our versatility and growth mind, and down-to-the-earth attitude are what we are proud of. We keep advancing our skills, including UI/UX and front-end technology, to provide the best design for clients. If you are a designer who loves precision and organized information, you may be the talent we are looking for.

As InQuartik’s think tank, the IP Professional team is looking for self-motivated intellectual property professionals with ten or more years of industry experience in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, autonomous vehicles, IoT, SEP and international patent prosecution, portfolio management, freedom to operate and monetization.

The team works closely to develop a customized career path for long-term professional growth and success. You will partner with experienced professionals, most of whom hold PhDs or with a Master’s degree, who are committed to the highest level of excellence, yet value and maintain a collegial and team-oriented atmosphere.

To help our clients build an effective patent strategy and portfolio to advance their business, we guide them through the comprehensive and convoluted patent prosecution and litigation process.

Patent attorneys will support clients through patent claim analysis, claim construction and claim charts required during patent prosecution, litigation and transaction.

A good patent not only is easy to read and easy to understand, the claim scope covers novel and useful technologies that are widely adopted in the market. While the invention itself may be complicated, InQuartik’s Patent Scientists across multiple industries delve deep into the ideas, find the core components, and create high-quality patents. If you are interested in turning clients’ proprietary ideas or inventions into quality patents that are actually being used and cited in the industry, we love to speak with you!

Successful marketers know how to observe clients’ behavior and habits, understand their needs, and design perfect campaigns that trigger their interest. Since InQuartik’s target market is relatively broad, we need talented marketers to identify the market potentials and develop robust campaigns. Our decisions are based on facts collected from qualitative or quantitative research. Besides the excellent verbal and written communication skills, we expect our members to have the ability to conduct independent research.

With a diverse culture and academic background, this energetic team is also a quick learner. Their continuously enhanced IP knowledge equips them for in-depth communication with clients.

They also write blogs, white papers or longer articles to unfold specific topics thoroughly. The team is also in charge of social media management, which includes not only writing but also designing — designing proper content that fits the users’ reading habits. If you are good at engaging readers with words, you may be the talent we are looking for.

With the extensive data quantity and high data quality, our products are scalable. In other words, we are flexible in finding the ideal channels. We encourage our Channel Marketing team to try different approaches and the latest marketing tactics to create growth. We are looking for individuals who are good at numbers, statistics, and all kinds of digital marketing tools to join us.

The members often have the knowledge and great passion for statistics — they love numbers!
