Job Details

At Aerospike, we dream big and deliver even bigger. Our mission is to unleash the power of the world’s real-time data with a database built for infinite scale, speed, and sustainability.

We empower companies to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges and achieve what’s never been done before. That’s why we developed the world’s leading real-time database—powering mission-critical applications for the most innovative, category-disrupting organizations.

Aerospike enables extreme-scale, real-time applications that:

  • Fight fraud in microseconds.
  • Drive dramatic increases in shopping cart size.
  • Power global digital payments.
  • Deliver hyper-personalized user experiences to tens of millions.

Industry leaders like Airtel, Experian, Nielsen, PayPal, Snap, Verizon Media, and Wayfair trust Aerospike as the foundation for their future. They rely on us to act in the moments that matter.

Headquartered in Mountain View, California, with offices in London, Bangalore, and Tel Aviv, Aerospike is the uncontested leader in next-generation, always-on, hyperscale data solutions. Unlike legacy NoSQL systems, our patented Hybrid Memory Architecture unlocks today’s hardware to deliver unimaginable performance and value for the most demanding data workloads—from the edge, to the core, to the cloud.

If you're ready to shape the future of data, join us.

As a Principal HR Business Partner (HRBP), you’ll be a key player in shaping our culture and empowering our teams to achieve their best work. Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, you will partner with senior leaders across the business (CRO, CMO, Chief Customer Success, and CFO) to drive strategic People initiatives that align with our company’s goals and our values. 

​​If you're passionate about growth, thrive on collaboration, and love taking ownership of your work, you're in the right place. We’re a team that values curiosity, the power of strong relationships, and making an impact. If you want to be part of a People team that ignites Aerospike’s talent to drive the future of real-time data, we’d love to have you on board!

This is a hybrid role; employees are expected to work from the Mountain-View office 2-3 times a week. 

Key Responsibilities: 

Strategic HR Partnership: Collaborate with senior GTM leadership, managers, and employees to truly understand global business needs. Translate those insights into innovative HR strategies that enhance organizational effectiveness and boost employee engagement. You’ll be a trusted global advisor, driving initiatives that align with our goals while reinforcing Aerospike’s culture.
 
Talent Management & Development: Take the lead in crafting talent management strategies that support the growth of employees at all levels—from individual contributors to leaders. Work closely with GTM leadership to identify key skills for success, ensure the right people are in the right roles, and implement programs to nurture and retain talent. Provide career development guidance and empower everyone at Aerospike to continuously grow and thrive.
 
Employee Relations & Conflict Resolution: Act as a go-to advisor for employee relations, providing a safe, confidential space for GTM employees to share concerns. You’ll help resolve conflicts, ensure a positive work environment, and guide GTM leaders in handling complex people matters with care and professionalism.
 
Organizational Change & Transformation: Lead the way in organizational change initiatives—whether it’s through org design, team health, or navigating transformation. You’ll ensure smooth transitions, clear communication, and alignment across the company, helping us grow without losing the essence of what makes Aerospike unique.
 
HR Program Development & Implementation: Design, launch, and manage global HR programs that not only support our business objectives but also reinforce our evolving company culture. This includes overseeing initiatives like performance management, compensation planning, and employee engagement efforts.
 
HR Team Development: Mentor and coach other HR professionals on the team, sharing best practices and ensuring we’re always improving our HR approach. You’ll also help us stay competitive in the talent marketplace by keeping an eye on emerging trends and sharing insights with the broader team.

Here is what we’re looking for in a candidate: 

  • Experience: 12+ years in HR, with at least 7+ years in an HRBP or strategic HR leadership role, supporting technology companies with globally distributed teams. Bonus points if you’ve worked in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

  • Strategic Thinking & Problem Solving: You can tackle complex challenges with creative solutions that align with the business’s goals. You bring a fresh perspective and don’t shy away from tough problems.

  • Employee Advocacy & Support: You provide a safe, confidential space for employees to share concerns and feel heard. You’re an advocate for them, addressing issues with empathy and professionalism, always keeping their best interests in mind.

  • Communication & Influence: Your communication is clear, confident, and empathetic. You can influence and build strong relationships with employees at all levels, helping them navigate change and develop their career.

  • Coaching & Development: You’re a mentor and coach, capable of guiding managers, senior leaders, and employees through challenges, empowering them to develop their skills and achieve their full potential.

  • Creativity & Innovation: You bring creativity to the table, constantly finding new ways to improve the employee experience. You stay in tune with industry trends, but you know how to translate them in a way that’s uniquely Aerospike.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: You thrive when working across teams—whether it’s collaborating within HR or partnering with other teams globally. You know how to build relationships and get everyone aligned and motivated.

  • Adaptability & Resilience: You can thrive in ambiguity and are always flexible, adaptable, and resilient in the face of change. You know how to stay grounded and positive and guide others through uncertainty.

  • Data-Driven Insights: You use data to drive decisions. Whether it’s tracking the success of HR programs, identifying trends, or finding ways to improve, you rely on data to inform your strategies.
