About Hologram

Hologram is building the future of IoT connectivity, delivering internet access to millions of connected devices worldwide. We process over 5 billion transactions per month across our global infrastructure—this isn't just another app, it's the invisible backbone powering everything from fleet tracking to smart city infrastructure. We tackle challenges of scale, reliability, and performance that few companies face.

What Makes a Hologrammer?

We look for people with insatiable curiosity and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. Hologrammers are the type who dig deeper when things break, ask 'why' before 'how,' and aren’t satisfied until the solution is bulletproof.

You'll love working here if you:

Value tenacious ownership of outcomes: You don't settle for surface-level fixes. You dig into customer use cases, drive your team to find root causes, and stay committed until customer IoT devices are reliably online in production.

Crave genuine technical challenges: You're drawn to problems that keep critical IoT systems running. Complex connectivity issues across networks, devices, and protocols energize you, and you know how to develop the expertise needed to continuously solve them at scale.

Relentlessly pursue growth: IoT technology evolves rapidly, and so do we. You embrace new challenges, quickly master emerging protocols and configurations, share knowledge to elevate your team.
