About Us

Vortexa was founded to solve the immense information gap that exists in the energy industry. By using massive amounts of new satellite data and pioneering work in artificial intelligence, Vortexa creates an unprecedented view on the global seaborne energy flows in real-time, bringing transparency and efficiency to the energy markets and society as a whole.

The Challenge

Ingesting thousands of rich data points per second from multiple external vastly different data sources, moving terabytes of data while processing it in real-time, running complex and complicated prediction and forecasting AI models while coupling their output into a hybrid human-machine data refinement process and presenting the result through a nimble low-latency SaaS platform used by customers around the globe is no small feat of science and engineering.

As answering the most fundamental and intricate questions posed by traders, analysts, charterers, hedge funds and other global oil trade market participants involves an unprecedented amount of sophistication and effort, the job of ensuring that the right questions are asked and answered in the right order, to the utmost customer delight comes to the forefront.

Vortexa delivers top-notch high-quality data and market predictions through a frictionless analytics platform, consisting of intuitive front-end applications, an API and SDK. The Product Management department is responsible for leading collaborative product discovery and delivery to ensure the products we build are valuable and usable by customers, technically feasible and commercially viable. For each product, the team ensures alignment with stakeholders on the vision, strategy and roadmap, leading the company to focus its efforts on the right functionality at the right time with clarity over the scope and KPIs.
