Join the Flock

I've worked in great teams and with amazing people in my career, but MotherDuck is special in that everyone, absolutely everyone shares their knowledge, time and energy freely. The technology is fun, too, of course - we have many interesting problems to solve - but it's the way we come together to troubleshoot user issues, unblock local setup problems and support each other through frustrating moments that allowed this duck-shaped startup to build so quickly.

It has been such a thrill to join MotherDuck! This technology will truly improve the lives of data folks. There are so many innovative directions to explore that completely change the game! I am learning every single day from the incredibly talented folks around me. I’ve gotten so much help whenever I’ve needed it. Everyone has an owner mindset - no fiefdoms, just collaboration! DuckDB truly is the friendly database, and we take that to 11 at MotherDuck.

Working on bringing a new cloud database to life is a rare opportunity. This has only happened a handful of times over the last 2 decades, but it's happening here, and you couldn't gather a better group together for it. With our DuckDB Foundation partnership, we have close links to one of the best academic database research teams in the world, and the time from best practice discovery to implementation is measured in weeks, not years. Our user base is fantastic and supportive. I cannot think of a better place and time to try to make a contribution to a field which affects so many.
