How we work
We keep overhead lean and our investments close to the product. Most of our team is dedicated to creating products developers genuinely enjoy using.
Appwrite is built for developers, agents, and AI-assisted workflows, and our team works the same way. We integrate AI into how we plan, build, ship, and support, pairing human judgment with tooling that helps us move faster without adding unnecessary overhead.
We strive to stay a smaller team that punches above its weight. That means clear priorities, async-first communication, and workflows designed for effectiveness. We minimize bureaucracy, keep decision-making close to the work, and use AI where it saves time so people can focus on high-impact work.
We hire the best people wherever they are. Being remote-first keeps us thoughtful about communication across time zones and cultures. We stay humble, treat each other with respect, and work to help everyone on the team do their best work.

Start small, build consistently, and give things enough time to become real.
Eldad discovered programming at a young age and built his career through open source, learning from developers and maintainers around the world while contributing back to the community that helped shape him as an engineer.
In 2019, he launched Appwrite as a way of giving back to that same community. Driven by the belief that software development should be dramatically easier, faster, and accessible to anyone with an idea, he set out to remove much of the complexity that stands between developers and the products they want to build. What began as a side project has since grown into a platform used by hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide.
Before Appwrite, Eldad co-founded Careerpage and served as its CTO. He also spent more than a decade at Walla!, where he joined as a junior developer and eventually became CTO. Throughout his career, he has remained passionate about building developer tools, supporting open source, and helping teams move faster with better software.
