Senior Frontend Developer

RAW Labs is a rapidly expanding Swiss enterprise data technology company that was spun out of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), by Prof. Anastasia Ailamaki and a team of highly successful engineers and scientists from amongst others CERN, Cisco and Salesforce.

At RAW Labs we have developed novel and highly innovative technologies to interrogate massive quantities of data in different formats, that are held in a variety of data stores across the enterprise’s infrastructure and the Cloud. By leveraging these innovative technologies RAW Labs has built a Cloud based Data Sharing platform for creating and maintaining APIs. The RAW Labs platform enables our customers to cost effectively exploit all forms of data and make available as Data Products. Enterprises use RAW Labs’ platform to drive ML/AI, business intelligence and data analytics applications without having first to undertake costly ETL/ELT operations, and securely share data in hours, not days.
