About The Position

About Arango At Arango we're on a mission to make working with complex data simple, powerful, and AI-ready. Based in California and in Cologne (with a global team), we’re building a cutting-edge data platform that helps organizations bring all their data together — graph, document, key/value, full-text, and vector search — in one engine. Why does that matter? Because it means developers and data teams can build next-gen AI applications like RAG , knowledge graphs, and smart agents — without gluing together a bunch of tools that were never meant to work together. Our platform makes it easy to work with any kind of data-structured, semi-structured, or unstructured, and it gives teams everything they need to build faster, smarter, and with way more context. From our easy-to-learn AQL query language to modern integration tools, we’re here to help teams grow and scale with AI . Sounds exciting? We think so too. Come join us and help shape the future of data. Location: West Coast (Pacific Standard Timezone) Only candidates located on the West Coast (U.S.) will be considered for the position. While this is a work-from-home role, some travel to client locations will be required.
