Role: Head of Sales

Location: Remote in USA or Europe, near a major airport / transportation hub

Company Overview

At Atym, our mission is to make it as easy to develop and securely deploy apps for billions of resource-constrained edge devices as it is in the cloud. Our SaaS-based management and orchestration solution extends the cloud development experience to edge devices that don’t have the resources to run Linux-based containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

Our customers are OEMs and end users that are building and deploying connected devices and edge infrastructure increasingly software-defined and powered by AI. These devices include sensors, controllers, IoT gateways, cameras, vehicles, drones, robots and appliances that need to be continuously updated as AI models evolve and new security and regulatory challenges emerge. We also provide customers with a significant reduction in engineering friction and cost compared to traditional embedded development.

The Atym orchestration hub works in concert with our device runtime that is based on the open source Ocre project in the Linux Foundation. Built with WebAssembly and Zephyr, Ocre supports OCI-type application containers in a footprint up to 2000x lighter than Linux-based container runtimes such as Docker. By collaborating with the open source community, we aim to make the Ocre container format the defacto standard for devices with as little as 1MB of memory.

Join our fast-paced, growing team as we revolutionize the embedded space and bring the power of the cloud to billions of devices in the physical world!
