TileDB is looking for a highly organized and results-oriented Event Manager to own and execute on our global events strategy.

Company

We build the TileDB Cloud Database. TileDB was founded in 2017, after several years of implementation at Intel Labs, to solve use-cases at the Broad Institute and MIT.
