The HiveMQ Team Is Growing
Employees are the heart of every company.
Without the right people and a motivated team, even the most innovative business models might not be successful.
When HiveMQ was founded in 2012 (under the name “dc-square”), there were four of us. Since then, our company has grown continuously.
We currently employ 29 people who work hard every day to ensure that HiveMQ is the best MQTT platform available.
Over the last few months, our team welcomed seven new employees at our headquarters in Landshut.
We see this as an opportunity to introduce you to the new faces behind HiveMQ.
