The company enables manufacturers to access, organize, and act on live operational data from machines, systems, and sensors at the edge.

You will have direct impact on customers and on the company’s direction, with the autonomy to shape processes as the business scales. Litmus values high ownership, quick execution, and strong outcomes, while maintaining a collaborative, curious, and low-ego team environment.
