What kinds of technical challenges do you and your team face?

Customers often ask us for additional functionality in the context of what they’re trying to achieve, but often, we can not only achieve the initial request, but surpass it. We keep usability to a high standard and make the platform viable for the long run. This creates a lot of opportunities to come up with innovative approaches.

“Our most fun meetings are our “What’s New Wednesday” meetings (imagine calling a meeting fun). Most Wednesdays, someone presents their work. We then discuss it and provide feedback. These presentations regularly remind me that Clean Power Research is composed of ingenious people who are passionately pursuing our vision of a clean-powered planet.”

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?
