What types of professionals work at Five Blocks?
Quick answer
Five Blocks employs client-facing specialists (account managers, Wikipedia specialists, AI analysts, search strategists, content writers, and researchers) and technical staff (software engineers, data engineers, and machine learning analysts).
The Five Blocks team combines client-facing and technical roles. Reputation work requires both the technical grasp of how the algorithms behave and the editorial judgment to write for them, so the two sides sit in an advisory function and an engineering function.
