Software Engineer

Who We Are: We build the platform that powers the world’s most data-driven telecoms companies

Our Story: At Synapticiel, we’re obsessed with making data the most valuable asset in telecom & authority organizations. We believe that when people have unconstrained access to explore massive amounts of data at the speed of thought, they can make data-driven decisions that can wholly impact the future of any business.

Founded in 2012 by Telecoms veterans, Synapticiel has always been at the forefront of streaming big data analytics innovation. We fundamentally believe that in order for businesses to become truly data-driven enterprises there needs to be a new model for analyzing the massive petabytes of data that are being generated on networks and through sensors and devices; a new data fabric that correlates and analyzes the data as it hits the network. By enabling service providers, enterprises and governments to analyze data the instant it’s captured, S-One provides our customers the unique ability to be decisive in today’s data-driven world.
