Holographer

Full-time position.

About HoloMem -

HoloMem is a technology company developing holographic data storage solutions to radically lessen the environmental impact of cloud computing. Since forming in 2020 we have developed and patented a unique system which writes and reads data as holograms in a material which can withstand incredibly harsh environmental conditions. This makes it an ideal technology for use in cloud data storage, an industry which currently produces 2.5% of global carbon emissions.

In January 2023 HoloMem was awarded a grant from Innovate UK to expedite the development of its pioneering technology and is now looking to grow its team of problem solvers to support this exciting next chapter.
