About Ab Initio transforms how companies work with data, from data discovery and strategy through implementation and governance. We started in a farmhouse built in 1692, surrounded by nature. Our name means from first principles, from the beginning. Grounded in fundamentals, we grew steadily across countries and continents into a global company. We build a high performance, general purpose data processing and analysis product suite, and combine it with an incredible level of implementations expertise and support. To produce this quality of software, we have designed, engineered and built “from first principles” a completely integrated platform that is agile and robust, that scales and is efficient, and that works seamlessly with both the modern and legacy technologies our customers have deployed. This platform solves end-to-end computing challenges and drives down the cost of big systems. Our customers are from a wide range of industries, including finance, healthcare, communications, manufacturing, and retail. We solve challenging technical problems, from working on the core of our fault tolerant, highly scalable data processing platform, to designing intuitive UIs for non-technical users. We hire for a variety of roles, including software development, technical consulting, technical customer support, technical writing and more. Lexington, MA HQ
