Cloudscape, now proudly part of the John Deere family, is a small Kiwi team on a rapid growth trajectory. Building seriously cool software for heavy construction projects on a global scale, this is your opportunity to get involved.

What Cloudscape can offer:
Cloudscape, now proudly part of the John Deere family, is a small Kiwi team building seriously cool software for heavy construction projects on a global scale. Their flagship product, The Virtual Superintendent (www.thevirtualsuperintendent.com), is revolutionising how construction projects are managed and executed.

Think International Airports, 10km long road tunnels under large cities, 30km long motorways, etc. These are just a few examples of the projects customers currently trust Cloudscape to help construct.

So how did a small Kiwi company find itself in such great company, making and selling software that large multinational companies trust to use on these mega projects? The answer is a bit of a cliche.... They have a seriously good development team with a ton of industry experience in an industry that is crying out for high-quality B2B software applications.
