For me personally, what makes Thema such a rewarding place to work is how genuinely everyone has a voice. It really is about who has the best ideas and not about titles, which is really refreshing.

When you’re building technology that no one else has cracked before, it’s challenging but incredibly rewarding. We’ve recently hit a real inflection point. As we gear up for our Series A, the momentum is building fast, and scaling the team and product is compounding. The pace is intense, the energy is high, and the opportunity ahead is massive.
