Responsibilities

Socket Supply Co.’s platform helps customers reduce Cloud cost.

Our open source platform, Sockets, helps developers build cross-platform software (software that runs on any OS) for desktop and mobile using well-known web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).

The web is the most ubiquitous platform, with the best documentation and biggest community, so choosing to build with web technologies helps our customers de-risk the process of hiring experts and maintaining their product.

More importantly, our platform exposes peer-to-peer and local-first capabilities that the average web developer can use to connect apps directly to each other. This allows a customer to reliably supplement their traditional cloud based infrastructure, and in some cases retire it all together, reducing total cost of operations by millions of dollars.

Our commercial products provide security, reliability and scalability. And our customer success program ensures a smooth transition away from the cloud and toward autonomy.

Our teams are dedicated to helping our customers — developers, small and large businesses, educational institutions and government agencies — see the benefits of our technology come to life. As part of an entrepreneurial team in this rapidly growing business, you will play a key role in understanding the needs of our customers and help shape the future of businesses of all sizes use technology to connect with customers, employees and partners.
