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

Our platform includes all the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migration projects. Today more than 300 leading organizations trust us to make better decisions faster.

We are a remote-first company with employees all over the world and are proud to be named a Best Place to Work.
Our founders are the creators of Trino (and previously Presto at Facebook). 10 years ago, they created Trino as the analytic database to stand the test of time. Funny enough, they never had any intentions to start a company around it. 5 years ago, we started Starburst with a similarly audacious goal: To build an iconic company that would stand the test of time.
We are solving exceptionally complex and meaningful challenges here and as we innovate, we each have the opportunity to build our careers alongside Starbursts’s growth.
Starburst has raised $414 million in venture funding and we are hiring across all functions to support our massive growth!
