Directus

Directus is an open data platform designed for managing the content of any SQL database. It offers a powerful API layer tailored for developers alongside an intuitive app aimed at non-technical users. Built entirely in JavaScript, Directus is fully open-source, modular, and extensible, enabling customization to meet specific project requirements. It functions as a collaborative backend and a self-hostable headless CMS that operates over any database, featuring a no-code interface, REST and GraphQL APIs, as well as MCP support for AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. The platform emphasizes returning data control back to teams who own it, maintaining transparent, readable code, extendable products, and a community-focused development approach. Despite changes in licensing from traditional definitions of open source, Directus remains committed to its core values and ethical practices. The company operates 100% remotely and asynchronously, employing a geographically diverse team across continents and time zones. Many team members originally contributed to the project before joining formally, ensuring deep familiarity with the codebase and community. Directus benefits from key creators and maintainers who oversee its extensive open-source ecosystem, as well as advisors with decades of industry experience guiding its products and organizational strategies. Supported by leading B2B investors, the company aims to democratize data on a global scale. With over two decades of product evolution influenced by a wide contributor base, Directus values every contributor, collaborator, and pull request that helps shape its ongoing development. The company openly invites individuals passionate about its mission to explore available roles and join its team.
