We are a Bellevue, WA startup and building the company from the ground up. We are currently coming out of stealth mode and this is your opportunity to get in early, on the ground floor. Our founders have a history of industry-changing successes in Enterprise software. With many years of technical leadership experience at both Microsoft and Amazon, the team has built many platforms that programmers have been using since the 1990’s. This new venture is going to have a significant impact; they are creating a new programming architectural model that is centered around data, in-memory databases, and data-based programming models. They are looking for passionate individuals who want to make an impact on the intersection of hardware and software. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create the database engine for the next wave of computing. You will engage, collaborate, and create alongside the best and brightest.
