Job description

ABOUT HEVO DATA

Hevo Data is a fully managed, no-code Automated Data Pipeline platform trusted by 2,000+ customers across 40+ countries - including Postman, Zepto, ThoughtSpot, Whatfix, Shopify, and DoorDash. Headquartered in San Francisco with a strong engineering presence in Bangalore, we are backed by Sequoia Capital, Chiratae, and Qualgro, having raised $43 Million to date. Our mission is to enable every company to be data-driven. Hevo Pipeline offers 150+ integrations with databases, SaaS applications, advertising channels, streaming services, and cloud storage - making real-time data consolidation effortless for business and engineering teams alike. Every company wants to leverage AI, Machine Learning, and Predictive Analytics to make smarter decisions - but fragmented data across hundreds of business tools makes this nearly impossible. Data operators spend most of their time manually consolidating information, leaving little time for insights. Hevo automates data collection, freeing teams to focus on what matters: deriving actionable insights that drive exponential growth.
