Did you know that every two years, the volume of audiovisual content produced worldwide doubles?

More content produced = more content stored. Faced with the challenge of managing this endless stream of new video, photo and audio content, organisations must find a way to scale the indexing and archiving of their media assets, and make them accessible from anywhere at any time.

This is where we - and potentially you - come in.

Our technology is used by leading broadcasters, production companies, and media organizations across Europe and the US. Backed by major VCs, we’re scaling rapidly and investing in innovation.

Our team is multicultural, with colleagues from more than 10 countries. We offer flexibility and work-life balance with a modern office in Boulogne, Paris.
