Why Akamas?
- Make a real impact: Last year, we secured a $10 million investment from United Ventures, a leading venture capital firm investing in high-growth technology companies. This funding fuels our next stage of innovation and global expansion. We’re on the lookout for dynamic individuals who want to make a significant impact from day one and be part of a rapidly scaling tech company.
- A remote-first mindset:We work primarily remotely and focus on outcomes rather than where work happens. At the same time, we value staying connected as a team and collaborating effectively across locations.
- Real impact from day one:The team is small, which means your contributions are visible and your ideas get heard. There's no long chain between you and the decisions that matter.
- A good moment to join:We're a growing startup with enterprise customers and a team that takes its craft seriously. There's still room to shape how things are done here.
- Tech your way:Mac or Windows? Up to you. We’ll set you up with the tools that make you feel at home and help you do your best work.
Akamas is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to ensuring fair and non-discriminatory treatment across all stages of the recruitment process and throughout the entire employment lifecycle, in accordance with applicable law.
