About the company
Xata.io is a fully distributed startup building a serverless database service. We all work remotely, usually from home, and we meet in person a couple of times per year in a nice location (once the pandemic allows).
Having founders with management experience from Elastic, Xata is well financed by amazing investors, including Guillermo Rauch (founder of Vercel), Shay Banon (co-founder and CEO of Elastic), Neha Narkhede (founder of Confluent), Elad Gil, Christian Bach and Mathias Biilmann (founders of Netlify), and many others.
If you come from an underrepresented background in tech, we strongly encourage you to apply. We are challanging ourselves to build a healthy culture that allows us to build innovative and succesful products.
Our founder, Monica Sarbu, founded a non profit organization called tupu.io that helps tech companies support diversity in tech through mentorship.
About the role
This role is unique because you will be part of the initial team that builds the technical architecture, designs the product, and iterates quickly to react to customer feedback.
