Who is Gaggle? We protect children and save lives. Our technology analyzes unstructured data created by students (email, documents, chats, images, video, etc) for the purpose of identifying child abuse, bullying, suicide, and other serious concerns that affect today's youth.
You will be part of a small team that designs and implements innovative ways to better solve this problem.
