The person we are looking for

This is the job for you if you enjoy working data management challenges from a variety of different aspects – scale, performance, automation, security, design and support. Our customers operate on the extensive data managed in our systems and they heavily rely upon our data management and performance practices. You will be one of the key reasons why our customers love us.

We are a small organization with big aspirations! We have an established Product Development team but our fast growing business is presenting us with wonderfully new and gnarly challenges.

Contact us if you enjoy fast paced days that are rarely the same, testing your soft skills as much as your technical skills, and quickly seeing the direct results of the hard work you put in every day!
