We are passionate about time!
Accurately synchronized clocks are foundational for any real-time distributed system, from electronic trading and distributed ledgers to logging/tracing systems and distributed databases. Founded in 2018 by a group of researchers from Stanford University, Clockwork Systems has developed a high-precision, software-based network clock synchronization system that delivers up to nanosecond accuracy at scale. Our solution is powering mission-critical enterprise applications in on-premises data centers and public clouds.
Formerly known as Tick Tock Networks, we emerged on the scene just as a social media platform with a similar name took the world by storm. As we don't wish to steal their thunder, we have found a better name - Clockwork Systems! Either way you look at it, it's all about time!
We're hiring software engineers, deployment engineers and sales. Send email to jobs@clockwork.io
