WebAction - Downtown Palo Alto, CA
REDACTED_EMAIL
Hiring Front-End Developers and Platform Engineers (java).
WebAction is a real-time data management platform that bridges the gap between users and terabytes/petabytes of diverse, fast moving, and physically disparate data with a simple, SQL interface and state-of-the-art visual app designer.
On top of this platform, we build engaging, visual web applications for users to explore and visualize their data.
We do this by offering real-time ingestion of data from logs/databases, distributed stream processing (think storm), distributed caching, and interactive full-text/analytic queries in one platform.
Our customers use WebAction to solve a variety of next-generation data management challenges including fraud detection, money laundering, and real-time predictive forecasting.
Founded by a team of Silicon Valley veterans with proven track records, WebAction is backed by some of the most respected names in Silicon Valley. We're also well funded (recently raised $11m Series B by a private equity firm with a $15 billion fund).
