Back End Developer

About Confidence

In today's business climate, a majority of a company's operating knowledge is in people's heads, paper, or cloud/network drives, and the speed at which they are moving prohibits them from documenting this critical intellectual property. As a result, this leaves a company exposed to disruption in the servicing of their clients and the operating of their business. Our mission is to instill confidence in the world by helping enterprises continuously optimize for productivity, quality, and consistency across all of their business operations.

The Confidence platform enables companies to define and document business processes and derive real time data on the execution of these processes to measure productivity and efficiency. The system incorporates AI to automate certain parts of the process and verify that the work was done correctly. Learn more here.
