We’re searching for a Chief Operating Officer / Chief Commercial Officer to join a revolutionary DBaas startup. They’ve pioneered a smart database system designed to handle very complex and interconnected data. This makes it easier for developers to build applications that require advanced data management.

They have developed a new and innovative type of database designed to meet the current needs and challenges of modern software development.
