Careers

Join the revolution as we disrupt the data industry

Our mission is to free our customers from the tyranny of data lock-in

At Starburst, we are working to dismantle the status quo of data silos and vendor lock-in every single day

 

Starburst offers a full-featured Open Hybrid Lakehouse, built with enhanced Trino, an open-source MPP SQL engine. 

Our platform includes all the capabilities needed to discover, organize, consume, and share data without the need for time-consuming and costly migration projects. Today more than 250 leading organizations trust us to power their modern data applications, AI workloads, and business critical analytics.

Though Starburst has raised $414M from top investors, we were founded in a rather unusual way as we bootstrapped the business with customers and revenue from the very beginning!

We are a remote-first company with employees all over the world and are proud to be named a Best Place to Work. Hear from Starburst co-founder and CEO, Justin Borgman on how to develop efficient teams in today’s climate. Listen here

Our founders are the creators of Trino (previously PrestoDB). They created Trino as the analytic database to stand the test of time. In 2017, we started Starburst with a similarly audacious goal: To build an iconic company that would stand the test of time. 

We have grown a lot over the years, but some things haven’t changed: At Starburst, we are a team of top performers and are each in the driver’s seat, shaping our organization and working together towards our common mission – with tons of creativity, flexibility, and resilience. It’s hard. But none of us signed up for easy.

We are solving exceptionally complex and meaningful challenges here and as we innovate, we each have the opportunity to build our careers alongside Starbursts’ growth.

While each one of us is different, we all rally around the same values.

Character

One Team

We are curious and unselfish in our approach, putting our customers and Starburst before ourselves. We are humble enough to be wrong and learn in public. Our goal is to reach the right answer, not our own answer.

Say The Last 10%

We are respectfully honest with each other, always saying the last 10%. We invite open debate and engage productively in challenging discussions focused on finding solutions.

Be Resilient

Startups are an exciting journey filled with opportunities, challenges, and everything in between. We are gritty and determined to figure it out, as one team, through the challenges. We’re in it for the long haul.

Competence

Deliver Results

We emphasize doing the work that creates the best impact for our customers and Starburst. We are laser focused on driving results and know the rewards will follow by achieving the right outcomes.

Dive Deep

We’re fueled by curiosity to dive deep and seek to understand all perspectives. This helps us gain clarity and make the best decisions for our customers and Starburst.

Ownership

Speed Matters

We don’t step aside; we engage our problems head on. We move fast, take initiative, and execute efficiently and in alignment with one another. When it comes to our customers and our teams, we act with urgency.

Customer Obsessed

We solve for our customer’s success. We remove obstacles and bring simple solutions to our customers, putting the power back in their hands.

Take Ownership

We are all owners invested in the success of our fellow All-Stars and Starburst. We roll up our sleeves to contribute and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. Whether we succeed or fail, we are always focused on improvement.

Working remotely, but more connected than ever.

We support a remote-first work culture in addition to having major hubs in Boston, San Francisco, London, Paris, Munich, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, India, and Singapore.
