Enterprise Account Executive

WHO WE ARE: We believe that open-source software, open standards and APIs are the greatest transformational tools for organizations in the modern software development era. Our mission at Diagrid is to provide developers with APIs and tools that help them focus on their code and not on infrastructure. As online digital services need to handle more load and run on multiple clouds or on-premises environments, programming to higher level abstractions delivers consistent, secure and reliable code that is easily portable and helps organizations de-risk their projects. Diagrid is founded by the creators of the Dapr https://dapr.io/ and KEDA https://keda.sh/ open-source projects, and who led the user experience, design and development of hyper-scale infrastructure cloud services, serverless platforms and open-source projects at Microsoft. Dapr has now achieved graduated status within the CNCF, joining renowned projects like Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Istio.
