Full transparency: we work a little differently around here.
This isn’t just another job where you punch in and punch out. We come to work every day because we strive to earn a living in a meaningful way. Too many people exist without finding joy or purpose in their work, and we believe that’s just wrong. After all, we spend at least a third of our lives working—so why not create workplaces where people want to come to work in the morning and feel good when they leave at the end of the day?

At 45

Drives, your ideas don’t just matter—they shape our future. We thrive on collaboration and innovation, where every voice is heard, valued, and makes a real impact. Does this sound like something you’d want to be a part of and help grow?

Drives specializes in open-source-based storage solutions designed for scale, performance, and reliability. We build powerful hardware and software that support some of the most data-intensive environments in the world—without the vendor lock-in.
