About Onehouse

Onehouse is a mission-driven organization dedicated to liberating data from data platform silos. We deliver the industry's most interoperable data lakehouse through a cloud-native managed service built on Apache Hudi. Onehouse enables businesses to ingest data at scale with minute-level freshness, centrally store it, and make it available to any downstream query engine and use case (from traditional analytics to real-time AI/ML).

We are a team of self-driven, inspired, and seasoned technologists that have created large-scale data systems and globally distributed platforms that sit at the heart of some of the largest enterprises out there, including Uber, Snowflake, AWS, LinkedIn, Confluent, and many more. Riding off $33M total funding and a fresh Series A backed by Greylock/Addition, we are quickly expanding and looking for rising talent to grow with us and become future leaders of the team.

House Values

One Team

Optimize for the company, your team, self - in that order. We may fight long and hard in the trenches, take care of your co-workers with empathy. We give more than we take to build the one house, that everyone dreams of being part of.

Tough & Persevering

We are building our company in a very large, fast-growing but highly competitive space. Life will get tough sometimes. We take hardships in the stride, be positive, focus all energy on the path forward and develop a champion's mindset to overcome odds. Always day one.

Keep Making It Better Always

Rome was not built in a day; If we can get 1% better each day for one year, we'll end up thirty-seven times better. This means being organized, communicating promptly, taking even small tasks seriously, tracking all small ideas, and paying it forward.

Think Big, Act Fast

We have tremendous scope for innovation, but we will still be judged by impact over time. Big, bold ideas still need to be strategized against priorities, broken down, set in rapid motion, measure, refine, repeat. Great execution is what separates promising companies from proven unicorns.

Be Customer Obsessed

Everyone has the responsibility to drive towards the best experience for the customer, be an OSS user or a paid customer. If something is broken, own it, say something, do something; never ignore. Be the change that you want to see in the company.
