Who we are : As a lean, bootstrapped team of 12, Code17 GmbH brings together senior software architects and pioneering ML researchers to partner with leading enterprises – Arvato, PwC, and AOK – on their toughest software engineering and AI challenges.

Our USP : At Code17, we build getML, a problem-agnostic machine learning software for predictive analytics on relational business data.
