Principal HR Business Partner

At Aerospike, we dream big and deliver even bigger. Our mission is to unleash the power of the world’s real-time data with a database built for infinite scale, speed, and sustainability.

We empower companies to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges and achieve what’s never been done before. That’s why we developed the world’s leading real-time database—powering mission-critical applications for the most innovative, category-disrupting organizations.

Aerospike enables extreme-scale, real-time applications that:

• Fight fraud in microseconds.
• Drive dramatic increases in shopping cart size.
• Power global digital payments.
• Deliver hyper-personalized user experiences to tens of millions.

Industry leaders like Airtel, Experian, Nielsen, PayPal, Snap, Verizon Media, and Wayfair trust Aerospike as the foundation for their future. They rely on us to act in the moments that matter.

Headquartered in Mountain View, California, with offices in London, Bangalore, and Tel Aviv, Aerospike is the uncontested leader in next-generation, always-on, hyperscale data solutions. Unlike legacy NoSQL systems, our patented Hybrid Memory Architecture unlocks today’s hardware to deliver unimaginable performance and value for the most demanding data workloads—from the edge, to the core, to the cloud.

If you're ready to shape the future of data, join us.

As a Principal HR Business Partner (HRBP), you’ll be a key player in shaping our culture and empowering our teams to achieve their best work. Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, you will partner with senior leaders across the business (CRO, CMO, Chief Customer Success, and CFO) to drive strategic People initiatives that align with our company’s goals and our values. 

​​If you're passionate about growth, thrive on collaboration, and love taking ownership of your work, you're in the right place. We’re a team that values curiosity, the power of strong relationships, and making an impact. If you want to be part of a People team that ignites Aerospike’s talent to drive the future of real-time data, we’d love to have you on board!

This is a hybrid role; employees are expected to work from the Mountain-View office 2-3 times a week.
