The company is actively adopting distributed systems tools (StorageGRID, PostgreSQL, Kafka, OpenSearch) and modern observability stacks while moving away from Azure Entra ID — a pattern indicating migration toward multi-cloud control planes and real-time data pipelines. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering and sales (495 of 583 active roles), with notably heavy emphasis on senior hires, suggesting expansion into AI/ML workloads and large-deal motion.
