About us

At Dagster Labs, we’re an early-stage, well-funded startup team with a proven track record of shipping open-source software with global adoption. Our mission is to empower organizations to create scalable, productive data platforms. We put a premium on respectful, clear, and complete communication, and we expect each other to be creative, curious, effective, and empathetic.

We believe deeply that the right tools and abstractions enable not just technological transformation, but also organizational transformation. We strive to put the user and their hard work at the center of our decision making.

All of our open-source work is done publicly. You can gain context about how we collaborate as a team and the problems we work on by exploring GitHub and looking at our code reviews.
