Basho makes a NoSQL product called Riak.  This deal not only brings cash but a strategic relationship with a European distributor.

According to Founder & COO, Tony Falco, there will be heavy hiring in the sales & marketing arena.  The article in Mass High Tech News states: With 25 people on a distributed team based in Cambridge, Basho plans to hire heavily in marketing and sales, Falco said. “Of 25 people, about 20 of us are engineers,” he said. “Going forward, we’re going to add distribution and marketing.”

If I were looking for work in sales & marketing, this looks like a sweet gig. I’d get an intro to Falco or the CEO, Earl Galleher.

And btw, here are their active jobs.
