Sinequa has been recognized as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Insight Engines and the Forrester Wave for Cognitive Search and Discovery for nearly a decade.

We work with some of the world’s most influential organizations—for example, accelerating drug discovery, optimizing customer support, and powering R&D innovation, including NASA’s next-generation spacecraft.

• Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to work in a fast paced, team environment.
• Technical curiosity and a hands-on mindset – Excitement for new technologies and understanding how things work under the hood.
• Ability to understand and troubleshoot code written in Angular and at least one backend language (e.g., C#, Java, or C++).
• Proficiency in SQL/NoSQL Databases.
• Comfortable navigating and understanding systems within the Microsoft ecosystem, including Windows and Azure Cloud Services.
