Data Scientist

Talentica Software is a boutique software development company started by ex-IITB grads and industry veterans. It is a privately held company. The company is 18 years old and 500+ employees work exclusively for startups as Tech Partners taking them from a Series-A position to Series-B position and possible acquisition (ex- Citrus Pay, Mist).

We have built products for over 150 startups, most of them are based in the Bay Area or Europe. These startups come to us primarily because we know the issues that plague startup product development and the solutions for the same, thereby improving their success chances. Owing to the unique space we are in, we deal extensively with cutting edge technology.
