### **About Talentica**

Since 2003, Talentica has built software exclusively for tech companies, from early\-stage startups to large, established enterprises. We’ve partnered with startups from their earliest stages through to successful acquisitions, doing the kind of deep product and engineering work that moves a company’s valuation, not generalist consulting or staff augmentation. Our \~600\-person team is among the strongest in the industry, drawn heavily from the IITs and NITs, which means the software you’ll build is genuinely differentiated, and the work is demanding enough that you’ll keep learning regardless of how senior you are.
