Web Application Engineer (new graduate, class of 2024)

Mission

Turning encounters into innovation

---

Our world is built on encounters; they are the very basis of society. People encounter people. Companies encounter companies.

We believe these connections bring innovation, which in turn leads to new ways of working and doing business.

By developing innovative products, we change how people and companies value their encounters and even change how those encounters take place.

Vision

Become business infrastructure

---

Transport networks, electrical grids, the internet. These are some of the roads of society.

We believe another road is possible. A new form of infrastructure for the business world.

This road connects people with people, companies with companies, and turns everyday business into innovation.

We aim to be that new road, that business infrastructure.
