Company Summary Tessell delivers highly differentiated DBaaS on customers' choice of the cloud for their choice of engine. Tessell differentiation includes up to 10 more IOPS for databases; a zero-data loss availability machine that protects data, makes the data available across regions, and provides time-travel capability for data cloning needs; a consumer-grade data consumption experience for developers and data owners; and enterprise-grade data governance and deployment models. At Tessell, we aspire to Tessellate all types of enterprise data into the cloud. To begin with, we concentrate on structured data for three reasons. First and foremost, the current cloud services in this space are, in our opinion, half-baked. Second, this is where the majority of the money is being spent today and will continue to be spent in the future. Third, we've been living and breathing this space for over 20 years and are confident in our ability to solve interesting problems. Why Join Us We have put together a founding team, a great blend of enterprise products and consumer SaaS backgrounds. We have a big dream to Tessellate customers' data at hyper-scalers. We aim to build a powerful multi-cloud SaaS platform that helps customers achieve all the benefits of the cloud along with invisible but comprehensive enterprise governance baked in. Above all, we are passionate disciples of excellence. We are looking for passionate gurus in SaaS, and the data management space, and talented, tenacious students who are willing to learn and apply themselves to every puzzle thrown at us. They'll work with some of the brightest architects and engineers in silicon valley. Required Skills ['AWS', 'FastAPI', 'Microservices', 'Python'] Additional Information na
