**Project overview:**
Our client is an industry-leading public company with customers in more than 110 countries, operations on six continents, and an energized team of 2,000 employees. Their R&D Center is located at our headquarters in the USA.

Products are found in world-renowned landmarks, from the subway systems to the world’s tallest buildings. They are #1 in cement additives and #2 in concrete admixtures; #1 in bonded pre-applied waterproofing membranes and a global leader in waterproofing technologies. Their technologies reduce the environmental impact of our customers’ products and environment, health, and safety are core to our business and our culture.

The Client worldwide team is as diverse as the many countries where we operate. Together, we create and collaborate, sharing a commitment to focus, professionalism, knowledge applied, teamwork, and to outperform. When we enable our customers to succeed, so do we.

The Client has developed a new industry subcategory, In-Transit Concrete Management.
The company’s flagship solution in this sub-category is PROGRAM, a complex electromechanical control system for managing the properties of concrete during delivery.

To support demand, we are building the next generation of our cloud platform from the ground up using cutting-edge open-source technologies and best practices for development, CI/CD and security.
