DEUS EX MACHINA – Our Story

“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

― Charles Darwin (1859), “The Origin of Species”

According to Jacques Monod, “Chance and Necessity” are the evolutionary processes that create life on Earth, the Darwinian “endless forms most beautiful”. Companies, the living, breathing organisms they are, can’t be any different. In our case, chance was an immaculate timing, a perfect storm of advances in computing, machine learning and data availability that created a unique opportunity to create knowledge, predictions and evidence-based recommendations. The necessity came from the fact that there is a need for people and organizations that understand deeply these technologies in order to transform their amorphous data piles into high-value assets.

Thessaloniki Office View

History: The company was founded in Athens and started operations in March 2017, with a mission to create trusted data analytics and scalable artificial intelligence solutions for its clients. To achieve this goal, we established partnerships with companies in human resources, augmented and virtual reality, business consulting and machine learning. Six months after it opened its doors, DEUS opened a second office in Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece and employs 10 data scientists and 25 engineers with expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning and software engineering. We are constantly looking to expand our team with talented individuals in this space, please check our job postings for the opportunities that are right for you.

Our philosophy on what constitutes a good company to work for or with is not about unicorns, rock stars, or infallible leaders. We aspire to build a company that values its employees and clients, and rewards excellence and results, with a great sense of commitment and responsibility. We believe that growth eventually comes as a natural consequence if the right values are in place.

Our Philosophy

Integrated, scalable systems

Build to communicate and grow are key design principles when we design our software architectures. Modularity and design testing are core ideas that we follow to heart.

Maximize value

We focus on key components, reusing code and libraries without reinventing the wheel. This, in turn, allows us to deliver quality products at a fraction of the cost.

Build to last

Code quality differs widely, even for software that on the surface looks the same. Through quality testing, we ensure that our products are robust, secure and easy to maintain. In other words, build to last.

Transparency and Responsibility

Transparent processes from start to finish. We are responsible to deliver what we promise at no extra costs or hidden fees.
