> Atlan is hosting Context Conference, bringing together the leaders and builders at the frontier of giving AI the context it needs to understand their business. It runs online on October 28, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET. Atlan co-founder Prukalpa Sankar opens and closes the day. Leaders from AstraZeneca, BNY and Verizon share why they invest in context and what they get from it. Registrants get early access to The AI Context Gap, a new study from MIT Technology Review Insights. Register: https://atlan.com/context-conference/

## AI needs a context layer. Come build it.

The gap in enterprise AI isn't the model. It's context: conflicting definitions, scattered knowledge, data that means different things to different teams. We build the layer that fixes that. We pull context from across the enterprise, make it machine-readable, and activate it for every AI agent and human who needs it.

## What it's like to be an Atlanian

- **Join one of the most AI-native teams in the world.** AI tools are in every workflow, not just Engineering. Zero hand-crafted code is the standard. Marketing campaigns built by AI skills and agents. Embedded agents working side-by-side with every CSM. Automated People and Finance workflows. Everyone ships. Everyone builds. [AI Expectations](https://atlan.com/ai-expectations/)
- **Surround yourself with people who raise your game.** Our bar is high and our ego is low. That's rarer than it should be. We are one team, aligned around a shared mission. We collaborate with humility, take responsibility beyond our roles, and treat each other with respect and care. [What it Means to Be An Atlanian](https://atlan.com/what-it-means-to-be-an-atlanian/)
- **Learn more in a year than most teams offer in three.** Shipping twice a week. Founders in the room as working partners. Scope that expands before the title catches up. We promote from within and bet on our own people. [Leadership Handbook](https://atlan.com/leadership-handbook/)
- **Put care first. Always.** We put the customer first, then Atlan, then the team, then ourselves. It is how we make real trade-offs and stay aligned around long-term impact over short-term comfort.

## We're not for everyone. That's okay.

"We will not accept mediocrity. Surface-level work without depth or data. Territorial behavior. High ego. Passivity. Wanting outcomes without doing the hard yards. None of that has a place here." - Varun Banka, Co-Founder & Co-CEO

- **The bar and the perk.** We hire deliberately. The bar is high, and that is the point. The greatest perk of being an Atlanian is the quality of the people you get to build with.
- **What it feels like to work here.** You will be given more responsibility than feels comfortable. You will be expected to build, not just manage. You will be asked to move with pace and intensity, think like a founder, and ship like it matters, because it does.

## Our values

The principles that shape how every Atlanian works, decides, and grows.

- **Bias for Action.** When we see a problem, our first instinct is to solve it; not complain or criticize. We think big and move in small, intentional steps toward our goals. Sometimes even a bold but imperfect decision is better than no decision. Action matters; momentum beats hesitation.
- **Giving 120% & Never Be Satisfied.** Giving 120% is about excellence with purpose and heart. We bring our best curiosity, creativity, and commitment to every piece of work, going the extra mile for our customers and for each other. But we never get too comfortable. We challenge assumptions, break myths, and stay curious about what could be better. It's not about perfection; it's about trying boldly, learning quickly, and relentlessly raising the bar.
- **Be Straightforward.** We say it like it is, plain and simple. When we have feedback, we give it directly and with care. If a relationship feels complex, we talk about it. If we mess up, we own it. We are not afraid to ask questions or challenge the way things are done. Clarity builds trust.
- **Problem First, Solution Second.** We don't rush to build; we rush to understand. Before jumping to solutions, we take time to see the problem through our users' eyes: asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and thinking from first principles. Great products start with clarity about the problem. We start with empathy. Then we build.
- **One Team.** Different and diverse people come together here to build something extraordinary. We respect each other equally, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, experience, pedigree, background, religion, color, nationality, or age. Work speaks louder than words; it is how respect is earned. We are a team, not a family. We win together because we build together.

## From the team

- **Pace and growth:** "The pace of growth here is unlike anything I've experienced. I've learned more in my time at Atlan than in the previous decade of my career. We operate with real ownership, deep trust, and high standards." - Riona Lavin, Talent Acquisition Leader, UK
- **Ownership:** "The work is fun because it's genuinely hard and very real. The culture is what keeps me here. You are trusted with real problems, supported when things break, and surrounded by smart, kind folks." - Anbarasan Thangapalam, Engineering Leader, India
- **AI-native work:** "I've been at Atlan for over 6 years, solving complex GTM problems alongside some of the sharpest minds in any room. AI is built into how we work, giving us the freedom to rethink problems without limits." - Yukti Agarwal, Marketing Leader, India

## What we look for

High standards. Low ego.

- **Clarity & First Principles** - break down the problem before you build. You break problems down before you pick up tools. You ask why before how, question assumptions others accept, and tie your work to outcomes that actually matter. Your decisions are backed by logic and evidence, not instinct, seniority, or precedent.
- **Agency & Ownership** - you move before you're asked. When you see a gap, you move. You've shipped things without being asked, improved processes nobody asked you to fix, and taken real accountability for outcomes, including when things went wrong.
- **Growth Mindset** - failure is data, feedback is a gift. You've made real bets that didn't work and learned something useful from each one. You're more interested in getting better than in being right.
- **AI-First Thinking** - AI is part of your daily craft. You already use AI to augment and automate work. Not occasionally, not experimentally. You've figured out where it sharpens your thinking and where it cuts your time in half. You treat it as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
- **Intrinsic Motivation** - your standard doesn't need an audience. You care about craft. You push through the hard parts not because someone set the bar, but because you set it yourself and you don't like leaving things half-done.
- **Others Before Self** - customer first, always. You make the team better by being in it. You share credit, answer questions, pull colleagues up, and make calls with the customer and company ahead of yourself. Customer, then company, then team, then me isn't a phrase here; it's how decisions get made.

## Your interview journey

| 5 | Offer and Decision | Varies | If it's a strong match, your Talent Partner walks you through compensation, equity, and country-specific benefits, with space to decide. |

### AI use guidelines

AI is core to how we work at Atlan, and we expect you to use it. But interviews are designed to help us understand you: how you think, what you've built, and how you navigate ambiguity. Used well, AI sharpens that signal. Used poorly, it erases it.

- **Before interviews:** use AI freely. Research Atlan, explore the space, pressure-test your ideas, tighten your prep.
- **During live interviews:** we want your thinking in real time. By accepting an interview, you're committing to showing up without AI assistance unless we explicitly ask you to use it.
- **For take-homes:** AI is fair game unless told otherwise. Use it to brainstorm, prototype, and build. Be ready to walk us through your choices and why.

### What you can expect from us

Clear expectations at every stage; interviews tied to real work, not puzzles; respect for your time; honest feedback.
