ihiji, located within the Austin Technology Incubator, is expanding its product suite with a new tool that allows business managers and owners the ability to aggregate and monitor mission critical services - think of it as a mint.com for branch or small business locations. The product will utilize much of ihiji invision’s existing infrastructure which is a scalable, cloud-based SaaS solution and is commercially available. ihiji invision provides a secure gateway for electronics systems integrators to remotely monitor, service, and maintain all aspects of each client’s in home or business electronics systems.
Our team is very collaborative, we all enjoy solving problems and continuous improvement. We all appreciate a sense of humor and enjoy having a good time while we’re at the office. Our office environment is pretty informal (I’m currently rocking shorts and a t-shirt) and we’re flexible on work hours and time off. We are supported by the Austin Technology Incubator (ATI) who has housed and launched some of the most successful startup companies in Texas. This is a great opportunity to join at a pivotal point in our evolution and reap the benefits that a startup has to offer!
