Remote
At Prisma we are building the data layer for modern applications. If you are fascinated by the software that powers large technology companies such as Twitter, Airbnb, and Facebook but want the challenges, freedom, and ownership of a young startup, then Prisma is the place for you.
During the course of the past year our bottom-up open source adoption strategy has produced exciting results. We have seen high levels of developer adoption and community growth, setting us on the path to become the dominant NodeJS ORM within 12 months.
