Company mission

  • You have experience with event-driven, data-centric architectures built on relational databases, microservices and, preferably, Kafka (or another similar event driven architecture)
  • You can normalize a data schema as easily as you can design an event payload, while steering the team away from common pitfalls
  • You apply clean code standards and SOLID principles in your day to day work, and provide constructive feedback guiding others to do the same
  • You are as comfortable working in a highly collaborative environment, as you are individually contributing value to the organization

Our take

The internet presents itself as a seemingly infinite source of crucial information, particularly when it comes to financial information to inform smart investment. However, the sheer amount of data available makes it incredibly difficult to mine, aggregate and analyze in a way that is fast and efficient enough to be useful.

Canoe leverages AI technology to automate the analysis of investment data, including document collection, data extraction, categorization and validation. The technology is provided in the form of cloud-based tools, API packages and integrated portals, ultimately aiming to present a unified system in which investors can tackle the inefficiencies of manual investment data analysis.

It's undeniable that other automated data analysis services are available, but the unified nature of Canoe makes it stand out as a solution with a lot of potential. Off of 2024's Series C funding, the company is further optimising and developing its product offerings.
