Who We Are

At RelationalAI, we are building the future of intelligent data systems through our cloud-native relational knowledge graph management system—a platform designed for learning, reasoning, and prediction.

We are a remote-first, globally distributed team with colleagues across six continents. From day one, we’ve embraced asynchronous collaboration and flexible schedules, recognizing that innovation doesn’t follow a 9-to-5.

We are committed to an open, transparent, and inclusive workplace. We value the unique backgrounds of every team member and believe in fostering a culture of respect, curiosity, and innovation. We support each other’s growth and success—and take the well-being of our colleagues seriously. We encourage everyone to find a healthy balance that affords them a productive, happy life, wherever they choose to live.

We bring together engineers who love building core infrastructure, obsess over developer experience, and want to make complex systems scalable, observable, and reliable.
