WebAction in Downtown Palo Alto - Full Time Hiring Front-End Developers and Platform Engineers - Remote OK Jobs@WebAction.com WebAction is a streaming analytics company based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our goal is to make real-time, predictive analytics simple. Every component of our platform is controlled by a web-based drag and drop app designer and/or a declarative, SQL-like language.
