Our mission is to...
Democratize Data
Directus is a Composable Data Platform purpose-built for democratizing the world's data. By staying small and agile, we remain completely focused on the product itself, avoiding the financial trap that often comes with taking on capital too early and concentrating solely on sales and rapid expansion. We believe in stable, informed growth, with every decision based on real-world usage and research.
An all-remote team
Our team is 100% remote, with flexible working hours, asynchronous communication, and the freedom to work from anywhere that has a reliable internet connection.
International by design
To build a global platform, you need a global team. It's no accident that our talented, diverse, and multilingual team is distributed around the entire world.
Contributor-first hiring
Many of our hires start off as contributors, so they are already familiar with our codebase, understand the pull request flow, and are engaged in open-source.
The Core Team
The key members responsible for creating, maintaining, and sharing the vast open-source ecosystem of Directus.
