Why work at Citus Data?

Our Story

We started working on Citus Data in 2010, after getting frustrated at the difficulty of doing analytics at scale. We thought running distributed SQL shouldn't be this hard (or costly), and wanted to make a difference. Building on our experiences at Amazon and previous start-ups, we then set out to build a company that delivers a truly scalable analytics database.

We were part of Y Combinator’s Summer 2011 batch, and we received funding from some of the world's leading investors, including SV Angel, Start Fund, Trinity Ventures and prominent Silicon Valley angels. We're out to build the best database company there is, and are looking for talented developers to be part of our core team.

Job Openings

We are looking for talented candidates who share our passion for tackling hard problems in the area of distributed systems and databases. We are interested in outliers; those who are self-motivated, are eager to learn, and who can solve complex systems problems with game- changing ideas.
