Meet Our Team
InsightFinder is the industry’s first system of intelligence for IT operations that predicts incidents hours before they occur. The company’s patented anomaly detection algorithms use unsupervised machine learning to automatically identify, diagnose, and remediate issues from logs, metrics, and traces.
InsightFinder for AIOps and DevOps is the result of more than 15 years of research and development and has been evaluated and licensed by leading tech companies such as Google. InsightFinder was recently awarded a highly competitive National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research (NSF SBIR) award (also known as “America’s Seed Fund”).
InsightFinder was then awarded two even more competitive grants: a NSF SBIR Phase II award ($750K) followed by a subsequent NSF SBIR Phase IIB award ($500K). The research behind InsightFinder’s development was funded by over 4 million dollars in research grants from the National Science Foundation, Google, IBM, and Credit Suisse.
Join the team that is changing how modern applications are deployed and managed. If you’re ready to test your limits and be part of the next great technology success story, we need you here!
