We do things differently...
Dagster Labs is the organization behind Dagster, the open-source project, and Dagster Cloud. We’re a small, well-funded, and collegial team with a proven track record of shipping open-source software with global adoption.
Mission
At Dagster, our mission is to empower every organization to build a productive, scalable data platform.
Investors
We are fortunate to be able to partner with some of the best venture capital investors in the business.
Values
Execute with ambition
We are a team that is intrinsically driven and executes with fierce urgency. We think big, aim high and are here to be the best at what we do. We value grit, resilience, and are able to persevere to get to the best outcome. We play to win and we do not mistake motion for progress, striving to quickly focus in on what really matters and avoid work about work
Respect the craft
We hold ourselves to high standards and trust each other to do the same. We do not believe that quality and velocity are at odds with each other, and taking our craft seriously means we can move fast with excellence. We we do what we say we’re going to do. We work from first principles and solve fundamental problems. We provide continuous, direct, and thoughtful feedback to one another in order to improve. When failures happen, we learn from them as an opportunity to improve our future outcomes.
Be human
Our workplace should reflect the full diversity of interests, backgrounds, and ideas of all of our employees. We invest in creating experiences to foster meaningful connections and encourage everyone to connect genuinely with colleagues. Building is hard and we believe it will be more sustainable, and we will have more fun when we engage authentically and inject some levity into our daily interactions.
Be a global optimizer
We optimize for the group, the company, and not just for the individual. We have a mutual responsibility to support one another to succeed and multiply our impact beyond the sum of our individual parts. We sometimes put aside the work that’s most important within our focus area to help with higher-priority work in other areas. We empower people to have sufficient context across the company to be able to work cross-functionally. We sometimes operate outside of our defined responsibility and never say that something is “not our job”. We act as owners, roll our sleeves up to pitch in, and fix problems and gaps that we see.
Developers, developers, developers…
We started off as an OSS project - our community has been with us the entire journey and they are the reason Dagster Labs exists. The developer experience at Dagster Labs is everyone’s responsibility. We are dedicated to doing everything we can to improve their experience working with data platforms. This means that everyone is invested in our community, their success and their sentiment towards our products.
