Your role
We are scaling up our business and looking for technology enthusiasts that want to work at an energetic Start-Up, want to learn lots of new technologies and want to celebrate (with cake) each innovation we realise with us. At Findest you will be responsible for solving the technical challenges of our clients on a full-time basis (40 hrs.). You will learn to use our internal search engine IGOR^AI to quickly get an overview of all technical solutions for our client’s challenges. You will be end-to-end responsible for a client’s technology scouting pipeline:

1. Starting with a client interview to get an in-depth understanding of their technical challenge. 
2. After digesting this information, you will continue to operate as the human interface between the client and IGOR^AI.
3. You will put the search results in the context of our client, and communicate the results.

We will teach you how to interview our customers, understand and rewrite technical challenges according to methods such as Systems Engineering Design, technology decomposition and innovation management. Furthermore, you will actively work together with our (A.I.) developers to improve IGOR^AI on a continuous basis.
