Inrupt is building information systems to drive the next era of the web, inspired by the original vision of web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

Sir Tim co-founded Inrupt to spark an ecosystem of data sharing and collaboration around Solid, the open source web platform he developed through years of research at MIT. Now Inrupt is driving Solid forward with world-class talent, including world renowned cyber security expert Bruce Schneier, scalable data platforms, strategic partnerships, customers in diverse industries, governments and an exceptional group of committed investors.

Inrupt’s technology helps individuals and society be back in control of data for good, gives organizations new opportunities to create value for customers, and allows innovators to thrive in an open marketplace for development. Our products are aimed at an enterprise and government audience, and our vision is to power innovation on the web for the benefit of everyone.

Having recently secured a significant round of capital to scale the company, along with reference accounts in a growing number of countries, Inrupt is seeking a Senior Business Development Lead to help organizations and government agencies in the EU to understand and realize the potential of Solid for their citizens and customers.
