Technology is a powerful force in our society. Data, software and communication can be used in harmful ways: to entrench unfair power structures, to undermine human rights, and to protect vested interests. At ThoughtExchange, we build technology for good: to make underrepresented people’s voices heard, to create opportunities for everyone and to help leaders make better decisions.
Building impactful software goes far beyond just technical details and requires a great team of people. This is why we put people first and are committed to your development both as a professional and as an individual. Our team is based on inclusion, transparency and agreement culture. We respect each other’s opinions and use feedback as a tool for growth.
