Akuity is a staunch proponent of open-source software.
We believe it to be the best method of impactful and lasting software development.
We also recognize that at a certain stage in a project’s maturity, OSS benefits from commercial backing to help take it to the next level.
We started Akuity to advocate for the Argo project, share our knowledge and deep expertise of its capabilities, and become a trusted voice for its users.
Akuity’s culture is still developing, but we strongly value humility, authenticity, and diversity.
We want to work with people of different backgrounds and paths in life, and we trust our team members to take responsibility, share ownership and work for one another.
We want collaborative, inquisitive, and dedicated individuals to join our team.
