About HoloMem

HoloMem is a technology company developing holographic data storage solutions to radically lessen the environmental impact of cloud computing. Since forming in 2020, we have developed and patented a unique system that writes and reads data as holograms in a material that can withstand incredibly harsh environmental conditions. This makes it an ideal technology for use in cloud data storage, an industry which currently produces 2.5% of global carbon emissions.

Having partaken in both the Intel Ignite, Deeptech Labs accelerators in 2024, awarded two UK smart grants, and closing a seed plus raise in early 2025, HoloMem is now looking to expedite the development of its pioneering technology by growing its team of problem solvers to support our exciting next chapter.

Job Summary
