Build the future of databases

In production. SurrealDB runs at scale for teams like Samsung, Verizon and Tencent.

Just getting started. The database, the memory layer and the cloud are all still being built.

Hard problems. Distributed storage, query engines and Agent Memory, worked on every day.

WHAT YOU GET

Real equity, the right tools, and time to do the work well.

Meaningful equity.

Every full-time hire gets a share of the company. The people building SurrealDB should own a real piece of what they build.

Health and wellbeing.

We support your health and wellbeing with medical cover for employees in the UK and US, alongside mental health support available to the whole team.

Hybrid or remote.

We work hybrid from our London hub, with the rest of the team fully remote across different locations. Each role is clear about what is expected.

Office life in London.

A London hub at Huckletree Oxford Circus, with team lunches, socials and a community of founders around you.

Pensions and local benefits.

We offer pension and retirement support aligned to your location, along with additional local benefits where available.

Tools for the job.

You will get a high-spec laptop from day one, plus a budget for tools, including AI, to help you do your best work.

Time off and travel.

A generous paid holiday allowance on top of local public holidays, with flexibility to take the time you need. We also bring the team together at key moments throughout the year.

HOW WE HIRE

A clear, considered process

Considered. Conversations, a practical session and time with the team, shaped to the role.

Quick. We move fast and keep communication clear at every step.

Honest. A realistic view of the work here, with each role outlining its own process.

Intro conversation

A first conversation to get to know you, what you are looking for, and where that meets the work we have.

Interviews

One or more deeper discussions with the hiring manager and the people you would work alongside, focused on the role itself.

Practical session

Depending on the role, a practical exercise or working session aligned with the day-to-day of the job.

Values conversation

A final conversation about how you work, what matters to you, and how that aligns with our values.

Think you belong here?

Have a look at what is open. We are building SurrealDB, the next generation database for modern applications and AI, and we are always looking for the right builders, designers, and operators to help us get it right.

Cannot find a role that fits?

We are always keen to hear from people who care about what we are building. If that is you, send us your details and we will reach out when there is a match.

THE PLATFORM

Everything an application and its agents know. Five surfaces, one engine.

Database

Document, graph, vector, time-series and relational in one engine.

Five data models as dotted tiles: documents, graph, vector, time-series and relational

Agent Memory

What an agent learns, with its source and its time, in the same engine.

A timeline of remembered facts, each with its source

Cloud

Managed clusters in the regions you choose, scaled on demand.

Clusters in three regions on a world map, each running or scaling

Studio

Query, explore and design the schema from the browser.

MCP

Every model that speaks MCP reaches the database and the memory directly.

Three models connected through MCP to the database and Agent Memory

IN PRODUCTION

FROM THE TEAMS

SurrealDB gives us a foundation where we can unify semantic search, knowledge graphs, and AI-driven decision making without stitching together multiple systems. Collapsing responsibility into SurrealDB has become our default engineering posture.
