Description du poste

Overview

Wezen is a tech startup, a business unit within the Datawords Group. Created in 2017, we are today a team of 25 wezers in two offices: Paris and Manila.

At Wezen we reinvent semantic content (text) production to make it simple. We are building a SaaS platform where content owners, copywriters and translators collaborate to produce content at the highest quality level. Our key innovations (such as Semantic Distance Mapping) reveal hidden content structures and correlations.

Wezen has recently hit a decisive milestone with major clients (luxury sector, CAC40) purchasing Enterprise licences. This fuels our ambition to become a European leader in content management software. Built on commitment and creativity, we are organized in Feature Teams and Guilds, with autonomy in harmony as our motto.

You want to be part of a team whose challenge is to build an awesome product. For you, being in a tech company is the only alternative. For you, the Millennium Falcon is not a bird species.
