To Apply:
Intrigued by a technical insight? Know of a problem that could be solved if only someone had a suitable insight? Does it have the potential to develop into an enduring company? E.g:
- Running software in the cloud requires trusting the underlying service provider and
hardware. A solution which did not require this could enable cloud adoption for a large
new class of opportunities. - A run-time engine to translate / execute on-premise software to Lambda?
Please email adina@engineeringcapital.com a short (few lines to 1-page) description about a technical insight, along with your resume. Subject line should read: ASSOCIATE – FULL NAME. Please do NOT send proprietary or confidential information.
