Headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, CData has over 500 team members, with offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. We take pride not just in what we build, but in how we build it: together, with curiosity, creativity, and a shared drive to push boundaries.

Our AI Promise

As we look ahead, AI has become a central pillar of what we do. CData is evolving to be AI-native: we’re embedding advanced AI tools into our platform, including semantic layers that let the business side and technical side speak the same language, AI connectivity that enables real-time access to data from across your enterprise, and user-friendly, governed ways for teams to ask and act on business questions with conversational tools and intelligent agents.

If you want to work somewhere where your engineering, data, or product work directly enables organizations to turn ambiguous, siloed data into trusted intelligence—and where AI is not just hype, but deeply woven into our mission—CData is the place for you.
