General information

Alation makes software that helps companies organize and manage their data. Its main product is a data catalog, a tool for enterprises to sort and consolidate their information. Its Alation Intelligence Operating System, or AIOS, helps make sure AI agents and data tools give accurate results, and Agent Studio lets companies build and automate their own AI agents. Alation is based in Redwood City, California.

Satyen Sangani, Aaron Kalb, Feng Niu, and Venky Ganti started Alation in 2012. By November 2022 the company had grown to over 700 staff members worldwide. That growth from a four-person founding team to a global staff shows a company that has moved well past its early startup stage, which can mean more established processes for a new hire to step into. Alation is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.1

  1. 1. Company description. Written by InterviewOS from Alation's public materials and press coverage; facts are checked against the sources below.
  2. 2. Weekly counts. A count is the number of listings the pipeline saw for the first time in that week. Weeks begin Monday; the onboarding week is excluded from the scale and every average.
  3. 3. Live counts. Deduplicated live listings observed daily on Alation's own hiring system; last check October 28, 2026. Stale and syndicated posts on aggregator sites are not counted.
  4. 4. Posted pay. Ranges extracted from the text of Alation's own listings; a range appears only when the employer printed one. Extraction is still rolling out, so this table can lag the board.
