At Arango we are on a mission to make working with complex data simple, powerful and AI-ready. Based in California and in Cologne with a global team, we’re building a cutting‑edge data platform that helps organizations bring all their data together – graph, document, key/value, full‑text, and vector search – in one engine.

Next‑gen AI applications like RAG, knowledge graphs and smart agents can be built with our platform, which makes it easy to work with any kind of data‑structured, semi‑structured or unstructured data and gives teams everything they need to build faster, smarter and with way more context. From our easy‑to‑learn AQL query language to modern integration tools, we’re here to help teams grow and scale with AI.

Sounds exciting? We think so too. Come join us and help shape the future of data.
