Paradigm4 is building a totally innovative and massively scalable analytics platform to power ground-breaking ‘big analytics’ applications across a diverse range of industries from pharma & healthcare to insurance, energy, and web businesses. It runs on commodity hardware in the cloud or on private grids. On top of that we’ve got a compelling dual mission – as the founders and primary contributors to the open source SciDB project, we are helping out researchers such as climatologists, high energy physicists, and astronomers around the world with scientific data management and analysis.

We’re a VC-funded team of seasoned entrepreneurs and data management experts, including the renowned database scientist and entrepreneur, Mike Stonebraker. We’re looking for intensely committed people who want to play a seriously influential role at an early stage company.

So if you want to do something good for the world’s scientists while being part of a stellar founding team out to make an immensely successful commercial company, read on.
