### About Hevo

At Hevo, we are changing the way companies leverage data to drive user experience,
growth, and business processes. There has been a fundamental change in the amount
of data companies are generating on a day-to-day basis. More and more users in an
organization are now looking to use data to drive business decisions. Data is no
longer a second-class citizen and companies are seeing data as a competitive advantage.
We see this change and we are on a mission to change the way companies leverage 
their data.

With a technology platform processing more than 100 billion records a month and 
doubling itself every 6 months, Hevo is poised for exponential growth in the coming
future. This position provides a unique opportunity to create a massive impact on
all existing and future customers of Hevo through technology innovation.

If you are the one who is looking to take a leap of faith and work on the technology
of the future, if you obsess over customer satisfaction and experience then we are
looking for you.

   and team effectiveness.
