- Creativity & Innovation: You bring creativity to the table, constantly finding new ways to improve the employee experience. You stay in tune with industry trends, but you know how to translate them in a way that’s uniquely Aerospike

What the job involves
- As a Principal HR Business Partner (HRBP), you’ll be a key player in shaping our culture and empowering our teams to achieve their best work.
- Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, you will partner with senior leaders across the business (CRO, CMO, Chief Customer Success, and CFO) to drive strategic People initiatives that align with our company’s goals and our values

- Organizational Change & Transformation: Lead the way in organizational change initiatives—whether it’s through org design, team health, or navigating transformation. You’ll ensure smooth transitions, clear communication, and alignment across the company, helping us grow without losing the essence of what makes Aerospike unique
- HR Program Development & Implementation: Design, launch, and manage global HR programs that not only support our business objectives but also reinforce our evolving company culture. This includes overseeing initiatives like performance management, compensation planning, and employee engagement efforts
- HR Team Development: Mentor and coach other HR professionals on the team, sharing best practices and ensuring we’re always improving our HR approach. You’ll also help us stay competitive in the talent marketplace by keeping an eye on emerging trends and sharing insights with the broader team
Our take
Aerospike is a high speed data platform that promises to reduce server footprints by up to 80%. Aimed at satisfying large-scale data platform requirements, clients include PayPal, Verizon Media, European Central Bank, and Snap Inc.
While there are other data platforms available such as DataStax, Redis Labs and Couchbase, Aerospike sets itself apart through offering no trade off between cost and a high level of performance and consistency on a large scale.
As massive petabyte data sets become the norm for large businesses, Aerospike realises the need for systems that can handle this in real-time. Its release of Aerospike Connect brings connectivity of Aerospike Database 5 with a range of big-name open-source frameworks such Apache Spark, Presto, Pulsar, Kafka and JMS - making Aerospike products more useful to a wider client set. Impressive Series E funding awarded in 2024 will be used to further develop its AI capabilities, specifically around graph and vector functions, capitalising on the current boom in the machine learning sector.
