Why join us?
At Davidhorn, we’re not just building technology -- we’re building tools that help real investigators make better decisions in complex, high-stakes situations. When someone’s freedom, safety, or reputation is on the line, the quality of an investigation matters. And the tools behind that investigation matter too.
You’ll work on technology used directly in interview rooms, case reviews, and frontline investigations in more than 40 countries. We have strong traction, a growing customer base, and the trust of police forces, prosecutors, and oversight bodies. That trust has been earned over years -- and it’s what gives us the mandate to do more now.
We’re backed by committed, long-term owners who believe in our mission and in building for the long term -- not chasing short-term gains. And we’re just getting started.
If you want to work on something that impacts real cases, real lives, and real decisions -- and you want to help shape how technology can responsibly support justice -- we’d like to hear from you.
