Catherine Williams

Global Head of IQ

AI DRIVES INNOVATION

Powerful products guide future transformation

Williams helps lead Qualtrics’ efforts to deliver a wide range of solutions, including Predict iQ. She said this product is especially exciting as it provides customers with greater insight into key metrics over time through the power of machine learning. For Williams, this proves the immense potential of both AI and Qualtrics’ technology. “I love how we’re connecting the dots,” she said.

ML applications shine the brightest when they’re able to draw from lots of data and are given clear, unambiguous objectives. We have both.

Anderson Quach

Head of Software Engineering, Customer and Product

CURIOSITY COMES FIRST

Focus on finding solutions and employing passion

According to Quach, Qualtrics’ engineers are intentional about their tech stack. He said his team is mostly concerned with finding languages that offer solutions for specific problems. For job seekers, that means the types of scripts on their resumes matter less than they may think. “We’re interested in candidates who have strong fundamental programming knowledge with a love for learning and personal growth,” Quach said.

We’re always open to new languages that will help propel our next innovation.

John Thimsen

CTO

INTENTION IS EVERYTHING

Thoughtful minds come together to innovate

Thimsen said thoughtfulness defines Qualtrics’ people. And in his mind, that’s reflected in everything team members do, from building technology to collaborating with each other. “This intentionality manifests itself in the work that we do every day, from how we prioritize features for our customers and operate our platform, to how we interact as team members, solving problems and resolving conflicts,” Thimsen said.

We’re very careful about ensuring that we hire people who will contribute to our culture in a positive way.

What are Qualtrics Perks + Benefits

Qualtrics Benefits Overview

TOTAL REWARDS

HIGH BAR
