Company Overview
Many data teams today are struggling with code changes that impact downstream data—no one knows for sure what will get impacted and how, even when simple changes are required such as a column that gets renamed. Unlike software engineering, where code deployments are supported by DevOps teams and SDLC, in data developments today changes are still quite fragile.
Foundational is redefining how data teams build and deploy code — a foundational (yep 🤭) need today for every company that relies on data. It was founded by 3 industry veterans with vast experience in startups and large-scale enterprise, and our team consists of highly experienced professionals from leading companies. We are strong believers in teamwork and hiring individuals that are inspiring and fun to work with.
