We are a globally-distributed company that values high performance, accountability, and integrity. We are a small team of database experts with a combined experience of over 600 years scaling some of the largest systems on the planet at these companies: Time is the only thing we cannot buy more of. Nobody owes us tomorrow. You can only build a future you believe in. We make bets, we take risks, we are optimists. We all drive the company forward and we all have key contributions to make. Nobody gets to sit back. Nobody takes a backseat to our success and comes along for the ride. We do not tolerate leaders that are not experts in their craft. This is in service to our people. Nobody wants to work for someone they do not have professional respect for. Raw performance says more than a million features ever could. Speed and consistency conquers all.
