Why PhoenixAI
PhoenixAI is building the agentic AI database — the analytical infrastructure that powers real-time decisions at companies like Coinbase, Pinterest, and Expedia. The problems we work on are consequential, the market is accelerating, and every person on the team has direct impact on where the product goes.
You’ll work on vectorized execution, distributed query planning, and real-time ingestion — the systems problems at the center of how AI workloads are evolving.
We’re funded and scaling — with enterprise customers and a proven product in production. Your contributions reflect real momentum, not just potential.
We hire for talent, not geography. Our team spans time zones and we build the async culture to match. HQ is in Menlo Park, CA.
Every person has direct impact on the product and the customer experience. We move fast, trust people to make calls, and hold each other accountable for outcomes.

How we work
Not a list of platitudes. These are the principles that guide how we make decisions, treat each other, and show up for customers.
Customer driven
Our customers guide every product decision. We measure success by whether we solved their problem — not by whether we simply shipped a new feature.
Iterate fast, deliver results
We don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. We ship, collect feedback, and improve. Speed with intention beats slow perfection every time.
Full ownership
Every person on the team owns what they build end-to-end. That means responsibility — and it means the freedom to make the call when it matters.
Think big, act boldly
We encourage ambitious thinking. The problems we’re solving haven’t been solved yet. Safe ideas won’t get us there — bold ones might.
Innovate without fear
We give people room to take risks. You’ll learn more from a smart failure than from never trying. We celebrate the attempt, not just the win.
Radical transparency
We share what we know — good and bad — across the team. Decisions made with full information are better than decisions made in silos.
From the team
“I have never found a more open-minded group of people. I feel valued for my contributions and listened to by senior leadership. This is a company on the right track — working on problems that actually matter.”
