Job description

Company Overview: Data is growing exponentially as the world becomes more digitized. Over 90% of this data is unstructured, consisting of video files, audio files, MRIs, log files, and more. AI requires unstructured data to properly train LLMs and unstructured data requires AI to extract value and add structure. Komprise is at the crossroads of these two huge tailwinds: unstructured data and AI.

Komprise powers the connection between unstructured data management and AI. Komprise Intelligent Data Management delivers a single platform to easily analyze, migrate, transparently tier and manage the lifecycle of petabytes of file and object data across hybrid environments. With Komprise, enterprise IT gains full visibility across silos to optimize storage, backup, ransomware and cloud costs. Komprise Smart Data Workflows and the Komprise Global File Index unlock unstructured data insights and access for AI. Komprise is recognized as the leader in unstructured data management by analysts such as Gartner and GigaOm, and has been selected by Inc 5000 and Deloitte 500 for its high rate of growth.

Komprise customers include the who’s-who of enterprises across financial services, media and entertainment, healthcare, genomics, manufacturing, and public sectors. Komprise has a notably strong partner ecosystem: AWS, Azure, IBM, Pure Storage, and NetApp are all resellers of Komprise.
