About us
We are a London-based startup transforming how financial professionals access and use data. We are building a system of intelligence empowered by AI-driven automation and analytics: a category-defining product that supercharges users to extract knowledge and put it to work.
Backed by top international venture funds and a stellar group of angel investors, we are a team of technologists and founders with experience building AI products (@Advent International) and scaling unicorns (@Scalapay).
We are currently looking for rock stars to join our core team. Together, we will build Desia from the ground up and establish it as the global leader in financial intelligence.
How we work
These are the values at the core of Desia:
* Openness and transparency. We're committed to building a transparent company where vision and strategy are shared openly. We believe in clear performance reviews and a culture encouraging feedback from all levels.
* Ownership. Our team structure is horizontal, promoting autonomy and ownership in every role. Each team member owns their domain and is empowered to lead and make decisions.
* Creativity and innovation. We recognize that great ideas can originate from anyone. We actively encourage and listen to innovative ideas from the entire team.
* User-centric. Our users are at the heart of everything we do. From concept to launch, every decision is made with the user in mind. We build our products to solve real problems, constantly measure our impact, and learn from user feedback to iterate and improve.
* Diversity. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. We believe that embracing diverse thoughts and perspectives is what keeps us at the forefront of innovation.
Desia operates remote-first, with the team working in GMT +/- 2 hours for synchronization. Our London team works from the office 2 to 3 days per week.
