About Us : Platform9 : A Better Way to Go Cloud Native

• Cloud native is a strategic priority for technology leaders at nearly every company around the world.
• Going to cloud native is a complex, challenging, but necessary process for businesses and organizations, regardless of size or industry.
• As cloud native grows and matures, many enterprises are looking to leverage powerhouse technologies like Kubernetes to accelerate their adoption, but they are faced with a limited set of options.
• Public cloud Kubernetes is expensive and locks you into their infrastructure and platform services.
• DIY Kubernetes gives you more infrastructure flexibility and control, but it is challenging and requires operation skills you don't have.
• Platform9 is the third option for your cloud-native future.
• Platform9 is the only container management and orchestration solution that supports the complete lifecycle of the cloud-native journey on infrastructure anywhere.
• We combine the flexibility of DIY Kubernetes, with the simplicity of public cloud Kubernetes.
• Platform9 is a better way to go cloud native, paving the way for an open distributed cloud future.
• Innovative enterprises like Juniper, Kingfisher Plc, Mavenir, Redfin, Rackspace and Cloudera achieve 4x faster time-to-market, up to 90% reduction in operational costs, and 99.99% uptime.
• Platform9 is an inclusive, globally distributed company backed by leading investors.
• All this means that the future for Platform9, for our customers, and for our team is about as bright and exciting as it gets.
• It's the best time to join our highly collaborative, friendly, and rich learning environment.
• We have a high energy start-up culture.
• We value customer obsession, innovation, openness, bias towards action, and speed.
• And we are looking to add a seasoned engineer to our tight-knit engineering team.
