Qualtrics

I wanted to touch base with you regarding more details of the launch of Qualtrics’ European engineering
headquarters, right in the heart of Krakow at the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology from 5:30pm on February 28th.

It’s a great opportunity for students to meet some big names in tech and hear
about how engineers are fuelling the growth of a brand that has gone from basement start-up to a $2.5 billion valuation.

We’ll have some great speakers, like our Head of Engineering, John Thimsen.
He joined Qualtrics from Amazon where, as Director of Engineering, he led the teams that developed Echo.

There’s also
entertainment, food and drink
and an opportunity to meet and network with some of the biggest names in software development.

Here’s just a snapshot of what you’ll hear at the event in our TED-style short
talks:

How engineers are defining the Qualtrics culture

Everything starts with the engineers, according to Head of Poland for Qualtrics, Piotr Uryga. As he looks to scale the Poland engineering team in Qualtrics,
he’ll explain how the culture driven by independent co-located engineering teams owning their software is the bedrock for the rest of the organisation that’s helping us stand out from the rest of the market.

Machine learning, AI and text analysis
Hear from
Senior Engineering Manager, Ryan Debenham, about how AI and machine learning are driving a revolution in text analytics that could be a game-changer for the way people interact with brands and employers. He’ll explore the latest developments and how Qualtrics
is using them to develop advanced text analytics.

Catch me if you can - how continuous deployment keeps Qualtrics in front

When you’re leading the category (or defining it in our case), you can’t stop for a second. So how can Qualtrics keep up its rapid pace of development as competitors scramble to match
it? Hear from Craig Kulfan, Senior Director of Engineering at Qualtrics about how he introduced continuous deployment for whole Amazon Web Services and how he’s bringing those lessons with him to keep Qualtrics ahead of the game

As well as our TED-style talks, attendees will have plenty of time to network
with former Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Adobe engineers. Plus, you’ll be able to find out about how we’ve built our high scale data processing using Spark and Kafka, see what a real world 100+ microservices environment looks like and explore strategies for
global AWS and Akamai backed CDN.

Spaces are limited and registration for the event is essential - a free ticket can be reserved here: https://www.qualtrics.com/pl/krakow-office-launch/
