SigmaX was founded with a vision to revolutionize data engineering and artificial intelligence. Our journey began with our founder, Rob, who, while pursuing an AI PhD at the University of California, Riverside, saw the world change dramatically post-9/11. With a decade of experience tackling large-scale distributed compute problems at Sun Microsystems and later becoming the Chief Architect for Engineered Systems at Oracle, Rob’s expertise laid the foundation for SigmaX.

Rob’s tenure at Cloudera as the Public Sector CTO, where the company grew from 100 to 2,500 employees and successfully went public, highlighted the impact of robust R&D efforts similar to those at SigmaX. This journey set the stage for SigmaX’s inception, combining new data engineering efficiencies with extensible AI+ML capabilities to create and support the next generation of smart pub/sub systems.

SigmaX’s stack offers data management at the scale of Yahoo, running seamlessly on edge, enclave, cloud, or all three. Our products move data to AI+ML with a tested 100X lower latency and 20X better throughput than competing technologies, changing the way models consume data.

At SigmaX, we tackle enterprise data management challenges at scale using a combined hardware and software approach. Our philosophy is rooted in building and extending Apache open source software, allowing our customers to benefit from collaborative development efforts without vendor lock-in. Key points about our approach include:

Our unique offering integrates software for lean, efficient, and reliable systems tailored to your business use case. 

• Sustainable Stacks: We constantly test new technologies to provide sustainable stacks that reduce cost and risk.
• Comprehensive Support: Outstanding customer support covers both hardware and software.
• Competitive Pricing: Our pricing is highly competitive, and we operate within an open system.
• World’s Fastest JSON-to-Arrow Parser: SigmaX hosts the world’s fastest JSON-to-Arrow parser, achieving JSON to Apache Arrow ingest at 100X lower latency compared to scaling out Xeon processors alone.

SigmaX products are licensed on a per-server basis. Key licensing features include:

At SigmaX, our culture is the heartbeat of our company, shaping everything we do and stand for. Since our inception in 2019, we’ve built SigmaX on the principles of authenticity, support, and passion. Initially operating in stealth mode, we have now transitioned to launching completed products and securing customer licenses, maintaining profitability and resilience through challenging times.

Our founder’s journey in the technology sector, marked by experiences from post-9/11 national security work to personal life changes, has profoundly influenced SigmaX’s core values. This journey has taught us that company culture is not just about business but about people, purpose, and passion.

Drawing inspiration from exemplary companies like Sun Microsystems, we understand that a great company culture is defined by how we treat our people. Sun’s innovative policies like mandatory shutdowns, paid adoption services, sabbaticals, and charitable workdays were more than just features—they were a testament to leadership values. We strive to reflect these values in our culture at SigmaX.

We believe in wearing our hearts on our sleeves. This means each of us cares deeply about something bigger than ourselves, whether it’s supporting causes like Stop Soldier Suicide, the Children’s Inn, or Unicef. We encourage our team to invest time and energy into their passions, fostering a culture of meaningful engagement and purpose.
