We have a presence across the US and Europe including New York, Dublin, Seattle, Palo Alto, and Chicago. We support office-based and remote work and align projects with convenient work hours for each time zone. We have tons of interesting problems to solve with a direct impact on users for transactional, time-series, and analytical workloads.
