Sema is a software company that connects technical and non-technical audiences to deliver high-quality software while respecting coding craftsmanship.
The company’s first product has analyzed over 1600 companies worth more than $1.6 trillion to assist technologists, C-Suite executives, and Boards of Directors in assessing codebase health.
Sema is developing the Sema Intelligence Platform, an AI-based system that comprehends code and Jira to maintain product roadmaps.
The company promotes a flat, collaborative team structure where engineers are actively involved in product development rather than being confined to specific tasks.
