Greetings and sun salutations! We’re Summer, a dedicated team on a mission to make data fun, accessible, and easy to use. Collectively, we have years of experience building data infrastructure in gaming, telecom, and decentralized systems. Now we’ve come together to build something fresh and exciting for the world of data.

- The harder the engineering, the more excited we get.
- Magic happens when design and engineering are best friends
- We make room to be creative and explore
- People first, always.
Enough about us, let’s talk about you. We’re expanding our team and are looking for sun-sational individuals to collaborate and grow with. If you’re hot for data and have an unquenchable thirst for design, we want to hear from you!
