About DataHub
What is DataHub?
DataHub (operated by Acryl Data, Inc.) is building the context layer for the AI era. The mission, in their own words: "Data is powering AI. But without context, even the best models fall short. At Acryl DataHub, we're solving a foundational problem: how to make enterprise data discoverable, trustworthy, and ready for AI systems to use — autonomously and at scale."
DataHub is the #1 open-source metadata platform with 13,000+ members, trusted by Block, Doordash, Etsy, Netflix, Slack, and T. Rowe Price. The product spans Discovery, Observability, Governance, Lineage, and AI Data Management. Recent growth: 6× ARR growth over the past two years, Series-B announced May 2025, backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and 8VC.
The engineering team is exceptional — "Our engineers led data teams and innovations at companies such as LinkedIn, Airbnb, Twitter, and Cloudera" — and the technical scope is genuinely hard: large-scale search and real-time indexing, graph processing at billion-edge scale, cross-platform access control, anomaly detection across millions of metadata events, and LLM/ML-powered semantic knowledge graph inference.
The market opportunity is also significant: "Category growth projected from $1 billion to $9 billion in five years."
Where will I work?
DataHub is remote-first — "All roles are remote unless otherwise indicated on the job description." The team is globally distributed with a monthly co-working space budget for those who want office space or in-person collaboration time.
What is the DataHub team like?
DataHub publishes four values: Embrace the Journey ("We tackle challenging problems head-on, viewing the complexity and unpredictability of innovation as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles"), Bring Your Best Self ("Your value at DataHub extends beyond technical skills to your positive team impact. We practice empathy through constructive feedback and balance ambition with humility"), Drive Impact ("We never settle for the status quo. We take ownership in pushing boundaries and creating impact for our team and customers"), and Build Together ("We don't claim to have all the answers. Our success stems from the powerful partnerships we forge with our community, customers, and team members").
Work-Life Balance
DataHub offers Unlimited PTO and sick leave with the explicit framing "trusts you to take the time you need for rest, personal commitments, or when you're not feeling your best." The remote-first model with monthly coworking budget gives team members real flexibility on where they work.
