By equipping innovators with data-driven technological foresight, we help them make the right investment decisions and innovate faster.

Our users are typically R&D leaders and strategy analysts at organizations such as BASF, Renault, AlfaLaval, and Reckitt, but also the US Navy and other government institutions.

• Excellent communication skills
• Ability to plan and execute long-term deliverables independently
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, Vitest, or Jest) and Test Driven Development (TDD)
• The ability to communicate effortlessly in English
• Experienced in React and Typescript
• Experience with modern data visualization libraries (e.g. amCharts or Chart.js)
• Experience with integrating real-time web technologies such as WebSocket, Server-Sent Events (SSE), or HTTP Streaming
