What the job involves

Our take
The scale of data gathered and consumed by companies is continuing to grow at an astounding pace, but the ability of businesses to derive insights from this information has not kept up. Limited by the pace of traditional methods of business intelligence reporting and the complexity of new AI tools used by data teams, companies struggle to populate business intelligence dashboards accurately, let alone understand what changes in the underlying data might mean.
Tellius exists to solve this issue with a business insights platform that bridges the divide between business intelligence and AI data silos. Integrating with most enterprise data sources and tools, it uses AI to allow users of all data skill levels to query a company's entire data stack and generate actionable insights in real time. Its rapidly growing customer base among Fortune 500 companies across a wide range of verticals is a testament to its effectiveness.
Having secured significant funding across 2022, Tellius is further developing its product through partnerships with Google Cloud and launching generative AI software enhancements. With a strong product that meets a growing business need, Tellius seems set to build a very significant presence in the business intelligence space.
