MinIO is the fastest growing object store on the market, made even more impressive by the fact that we are the most broadly deployed as well. MinIO has been downloaded more than 1.7 billion times, and every day 1.9 million more downloads occur. As we grow we are seeking a Business Development Representative to help us convert existing open source usage to a commercial license, attract new customers, arrange for tradeshow meetings and generally move the market in the direction of MinIO.
