WHAT YOU GET
The deal we offer the team
Real equity, the right tools, and the time to do the work properly. Benefits vary slightly by location - listed here as they actually apply.
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
Our London hub at Huckletree Oxford Circus offers a relaxed, well-equipped space to work, with regular team lunches, breakfasts, and socials, plus a wider community of founders and engineers 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.
OUR VALUES
The principles that guide us
Our values shape how we work together, how we hire, and how we treat the people we build for. Four short statements, each anchored in a SurrealQL verb.
BEGIN;
Low ego. Transparency. Ambition.
We approach problems with an open mind and a drive to build something meaningful. Team success comes before individual recognition, and we actively seek out different perspectives. We are ambitious about what we are building, and intentional about how we work together to get there.
CREATE;
Collaboration. Curiosity. Drive.
We challenge assumptions and reimagine what is possible. We take initiative, move quickly, and learn as we go. We build collaboratively, knowing the best outcomes come from shared effort.
UPDATE;
Clarity. Adaptability. Growth.
We iterate constantly, improving with every version. Feedback is part of how we work, shared openly and used to get better. We celebrate success, adjust when needed, and keep momentum even when things change.
COMMIT;
Ownership. Focus. Customer-first.
We take responsibility for our work and see things through. We focus on what matters, not what is easy, and stay close to our users when making decisions. We are committed to building something that lasts, for our customers and for each other.
OUR CULTURE
A London hub, a global team
Our London office is where we come together in person, working through ideas, solving problems, and spending time as a team. Beyond that, we are a distributed group across the UK, Europe, the US, and Asia, collaborating closely day to day.
THE TEAM
The people behind the product
We are a small team with big ambition, building the future of data together. We are distributed across the globe, with different backgrounds, experiences, and interests, but we are united by a shared commitment to the work we do and the people we do it with.
HOW WE HIRE
A clear, considered process
Our hiring process is designed to be thoughtful, efficient, and respectful of your time. It varies slightly depending on the role, but you can expect a mix of conversations, practical discussions, and time to get to know the team.
Most processes include:
- an initial conversation to get to know you and what you are looking for
- one or more deeper discussions or practical sessions related to the role
- a final conversation focused on how you work, what matters to you, and how that aligns with our values
We aim to move quickly, keep communication clear, and give you a realistic view of what it is like to work here. For full details, each role outlines its specific process.
