The Helsinki, Finland-based company is currently recruiting open source developers spanning Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch, in addition to an open source program manager. “Our OSPO team works as the bridge between the different OS communities and Aiven to drive fixes and features important to Aiven,” Saarenmaa explained. This is why we’re now launching the open source program Office.”Īiven’s OSPO will specifically aim to contribute back to the open source projects it has built its business on. “As the company grows, staying connected to open source communities is more and more important, and we want to make sure there’s a team and function at the company that coordinates our efforts, moving our contributions from occasional to continuous and predictable. “Open source is at the heart of what Aiven offers, and it is in our collective interest to develop open source technologies and ensure that open source remains truly open,” Saarenmaa told VentureBeat. Hot on the heels of its recent $100 million funding round, the company is now gearing up to launch its first OSPO. Oskari Saarenmaa is cofounder and CEO at Aiven, a company that manages businesses’ open source data infrastructure, with commercial support for MySQL, Elasticsearch, Apache Kafka, M3, Redis, InfluxDB, Apache Cassandra, PostgreSQL, and Grafana.
