About Neon

Neon is building open-source cloud-native PostgreSQL. Our architecture separates storage from compute, allowing for stateless and serverless Postgres. We're a well-funded startup with deep knowledge of Postgres internals and decades of experience building databases.

Neon was created by a team of Postgres hackers and led by CEO Nikita Shamgunov (co-founder of SingleStore). Neon is built on open-source principles and is focused on giving back to the Postgres and developer communities.

Our Team

  • We are a distributed team of 130+ people working from 25+ countries (concentrating around North American and European time zones)

  • Team with decades of experience building databases and deep knowledge of Postgres internals. We are deeply technical

  • We have experienced Postgres committers and hackers on the team (check  Heikki ,  Anastasia ,  Matthias profiles)

  • We believe in the efficacy of collaborative open-source

  • We aim for a diversity of thoughts and backgrounds

  • We are keen to be a fast-moving, flat org and avoid hierarchical structures

Our Investors

Top-tier investors backed up Neon's vision:

  • We raised $104+ million in funding from Menlo Ventures, Notable Capital, Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Founders Fund.

Our Offer

  • You have an opportunity to be an early employee in the fast-scaling ambitious team
