Sinequa by ChapsVision

At Sinequa, we are redefining how organizations access and leverage their data. Our mission is to provide employees with instant, secure access to the information they need—regardless of where it resides. Powered by advanced natural language processing, deep learning, and generative AI, our platform enables users to search, discover, and analyze both structured and unstructured data across silos and applications in real time.

Sinequa has been recognized as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Insight Engines and the Forrester Wave for Cognitive Search and Discovery for nearly a decade.

In 2024, Sinequa joined ChapsVision, a fast-growing French software group founded in 2019 and part of the NEXT40 of French Tech. With over 1,000 employees and more than 1,000 clients, ChapsVision is leading innovation in secure, large-scale data processing. The group also supports social impact through the Happy Cap Foundation, which helps children with cognitive and developmental challenges and their families.

Today, Sinequa is at the forefront of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), intelligent agents, and dynamic workflows that transform search into actionable intelligence. Our platform is increasingly focused on strategic verticals such as private equity, legal, and consulting—where secure, contextualized, high-value insights are critical.

We work with some of the world’s most influential organizations—for example, accelerating drug discovery, optimizing customer support, and powering R&D innovation, including NASA’s next-generation spacecraft.

If you're passionate about shaping the future of intelligent search and AI-driven knowledge discovery, this is a great time to join our team.
