We commit to shipping products and serving customers with a singular focus on excellence. We take pride in breaking boundaries, constantly improving, and aiming to produce great (not just good) work in order to win the market. Excellence is how we build a category-defining company.
We approach discussions with humility and an open mind to guarantee that we will learn something new or appreciate a problem from a new perspective. And that, in turn, leads to better outcomes.
We believe that whole, healthy individuals produce consistently exceptional results. Whether we find work-life balance through time with friends and family, a healthy lifestyle, or intellectual pursuits, maintaining a healthy balance enables high performance.
We are at our best when we communicate openly and honestly – understanding both our successes and our failures in order to continuously improve and enable each Roacher to effectively contribute to solving difficult problems.

Learn more about CREWS“I joined Cockroach Labs because it was a chance to work on once-in-a-decade technology with a huge addressable market. It's cliché to say that you join startups to learn fast and do a bit of everything, but as the first product manager on CockroachDB Dedicated, and now GM of the offering, that's certainly been true and a highlight of my time here. The opportunity to work with so many talented people across the company while making rapid progress on solving hard customer problems is the best part of my job.”
