At Tinybird, we believe real-time data products should be accessible to every developer. Our platform combines managed ClickHouse® with developer-first tooling, enabling teams to ingest streaming and batch data, transform it with SQL, and publish instant APIs - all without managing infrastructure. We ship features daily, iterate rapidly through schema migrations with zero downtime, and maintain a culture where everyone on the product team contributes directly to customer success. We're a remote-first engineering team distributed primarily across CET time zones, working asynchronously with clear communication and strong ownership principles. We contribute to open source - especially ClickHouse - because we believe in giving back to the community that powers our stack. Our engineers use AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code to move faster, participate in on-call rotations to stay close to customer challenges, and prioritize shipping speed over process. We've built a platform that serves billions of requests per day with sub-second latency, and we're looking for people who want to solve hard problems at scale.

Lorikeet is a platform that complex and regulated businesses use to provide their customers with a universal concierge. The company does this with AI agents that work across voice, chat, and email channels to resolve customer challenges with precision and accuracy. Unlike traditional chatbots that simply deflect customers to self-service options, Lorikeet's agents are built on a unique architecture focused on flexibility and the ability to take action to solve customers' problems in the most challenging circumstances. The company serves global customers including fintechs, healthtechs, marketplaces, delivery services, crypto marketplaces, and other complex businesses. Lorikeet enables companies to scale customer support while maintaining response quality, solving tickets that involve looking up data, taking actions in systems, and making complex decisions. The platform handles high-stakes problems rather than deflecting them, making it particularly valuable for highly regulated sectors like financial services, healthcare, and energy.

At Jefferies, we believe that exceptional results emerge from a flat entrepreneurial structure where every team member can make an impact. Founded in 1962 with just $30,000 in borrowed capital, we have grown into the leading pure-play investment banking and capital markets firm by maintaining our partnership culture and collaborative spirit. Our professionals operate with real ownership, empowered to deliver creative solutions for clients across M&A advisory, equity capital markets, leveraged finance, and restructuring. We operate as one cohesive team across 48 offices worldwide, optimizing for deep client relationships rather than bureaucracy. Our culture thrives on idea-driven approaches and meritocratic collaboration - where the best insight wins regardless of tenure. We have been remote-capable and digitally connected for decades, allowing us to serve clients seamlessly across time zones while maintaining the personal touch that defines our 60-year legacy. Our team members flourish in an environment that values analytical rigor, creative problem-solving, and direct communication over hierarchy.

We're building technology that helps financial institutions fight financial crime more effectively and efficiently using AI. Founded in Munich in 2018, we started with a simple observation: traditional rules-based systems for detecting money laundering and fraud were generating too many false positives, wasting countless hours on manual investigation while letting real threats slip through. Our founders saw an opportunity to apply explainable AI to this problem, creating a system that could actually learn and adapt to new criminal patterns. Today, our platform processes billions of transactions across more than 60 countries, helping banks, payment companies, and fintechs reduce false positives by up to 70% while identifying 3-5 times more suspicious activity. What sets us apart is our focus on explainable AI - every decision our system makes can be audited and understood, which matters when you're dealing with regulatory compliance. We've grown from a small Munich startup to a global team working with major financial institutions, but we're still driven by the same mission: making it harder for criminals to abuse the financial system while making life easier for the compliance teams trying to stop them.

Forterra delivers autonomous mission systems for defense, building on a 20-year foundation of technical excellence since its founding in 2002. The company specializes in self-driving ground systems and coordinated swarms of robotic systems, establishing itself as the go-to provider of ground autonomy solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense. Forterra has secured contracts across all four DOD ground autonomy programs and achieved the first production contract for self-driving systems in the U.S. Military, with technology deployed across four continents and over 10 countries. In 2025, Forterra closed a $238 million Series C funding round, bringing its valuation to $1 billion and cementing its leadership in autonomy and interoperable systems. The company's open, modular ecosystem approach through OASIS (Open Architecture Standard for Interoperable Systems) enables government and third-party developers to build capabilities on the AutoDrive platform without vendor lock-in. Beyond defense, Forterra has expanded into commercial applications including autonomous yard trucks for logistics centers and driverless off-highway logging trucks, with operations that function in all weather conditions and varied terrain without requiring infrastructure improvements.
