Starburst jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Starburst gives companies secure, governed access to all their data, wherever it lives. Companies use it for AI and analytics without first moving data into one place. It is built on open standards, Trino and Apache Iceberg, so customers avoid lock-in to one vendor. Its AI agent, AIDA, answers questions in plain language from a customer's data.

What they value

• One team: put customers and Starburst first.
• Say the last 10%: be honest with each other, with respect.
• Be resilient and deliver results that help customers.
• Dive deep, and stay curious.
• Speed matters: move fast and take initiative.
• Take ownership as a team of owners.
