An all-remote team
Our team is 100% remote, with flexible working hours, asynchronous communication, and the freedom to work from anywhere that has a reliable internet connection.
Our mission is to...
Democratize data.
Directus is a Composable Data Platform purpose-built for democratizing the world's data. By staying small and agile, we remain completely focused on the product itself, avoiding the financial trap that often comes with taking on capital too early and concentrating solely on sales and rapid expansion. We believe in stable, informed growth, with every decision based on real-world usage and research.

Directus (duh REKT iss) is Latin for: laid straight, arranged in lines. The goal of our platform is to present data in a simple, orderly, and intuitive way. We use Inter for our typography, and have included a vector logo kit below.
