Lumi delivers lightning fast queries, significant cost savings and seamless integration with leading observability technologies while giving customers the freedom to innovate without vendor lock-in. You will partner directly with our teams who are innovating and building this first-in-class technology that allows our customers to unlock new levels of speed, scale and value from their data.

Backed by leading investors including a16z and Bessemer Venture Partners, Imply is on a fast growth trajectory, transforming how organizations manage and gain insights from their observability and security data.
