Software Sales Executive

About Atmire

Atmire is a dynamic and rapidly growing software company that puts its people at the heart of everything we do. As a scale-up with a team of 45, projected to grow to 55 in the next year, we are dedicated to creating a positive and supportive work environment where our employees can thrive. We believe that a happy and engaged team is the key to our success.

Why join the Atmire team?

Help us accelerate progress! Because that is what we, at Atmire, do: we are not only a fabulous and highly skilled team implementing specialized portals based on the free open source software DSpace, we aim at making the world’s knowledge available to everyone.

Think about it. Let’s take the example of health and cancer research. People still die every day because researchers haven't been able to connect all the right dots. If access to a publication can just speed up this process with a few days, we are already saving lives.

So… do you want to make a difference?
