• The single-machine version is provided on a free-to-use license (`pip install pathway`).
• Major data use cases are around event-stream data (including real-world data such as IoT), and graph data that changes over time.
• Our enterprise offering is currently used by leaders of the logistics industry, such as DB Schenker or La Poste, and tested across multiple industries. Pathway has been featured in Gartner's market guide for Event Stream Processing.

Pathway is VC-funded, with amazing BAs from the AI space and industry. We have operations across Europe and in the US. We are headquartered in Paris, with significant support from the French ecosystem (BPI, Agoranov, WILCO,...).

The Team

Pathway is built by and for overachievers. Its co-founders and employees have worked in the best AI labs in the world (Microsoft Research, Google Brain, ETH Zurich), worked at Google, and graduated from top universities (Polytechnique, ENSAE, Sciences Po, HEC Paris, PhD obtained at the age of 20, etc…). Pathway’s CTO is a co-author with Goeff Hinton and Yoshua Bengio. The management team also includes the co-founder of Spoj.com (1M+ developer users) and NK.pl (13.5M+ users) and experienced growth leader who has scaled companies with multiple exits.

The opportunity

Starting from the very first days of “product packaging”, you will be helping Pathway to achieve key goals such as: driving adoption of our product as a useful tool, raising awareness of the company as a thought leader among developers, and decreasing time-to-deployment / time-to-value of the product.

The developers using our product will mostly be in a corporate environment (both enterprise and large scale-ups). Our development framework is one day expected to become for them a part of their preferred development and data stack for data pipelines and analytics projects at work – their daily bread & butter.
