Job description

Senior Software Engineer

London (in person)

At Etleap, we’re redefining how data teams build and manage data pipelines. Our no-code/low-code ETL platform allows seamless integration of data from any source — whether databases, applications, or files — into lakehouses like Snowflake, Databricks, and Redshift. With pipelines that "just work" and features like advanced data transformation using dbt Core and end-to-end pipeline observability, we’re focused on making robust data pipelines accessible to everyone.

We are looking to add senior engineers to our core engineering team to build the infrastructure that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their analytics infrastructure! It shouldn’t take a CS degree to build great data pipelines, and abstracting away the difficult parts is our mission.

What you are going to do:

1. Solve challenging engineering problems related to the performance and robustness of distributed systems infrastructure.
2. Come up with novel ideas on how to make complex data technology user-friendly, and then turn those ideas into software.
3. Collaborate on the design and development of the next generation of ETL/ELT infrastructure that prioritizes user-friendliness and flexibility.

What we want to see in you:

1. 5+ years of experience as a backend software engineer, with a focus on distributed systems and data infrastructure.
2. You are drawn to and have experience solving challenging engineering problems.
3. Mastery in Java and a passion for building scalable, reliable systems.
4. You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
5. You’re down to earth and fun to be around. This is an absolute must!
6. Based in or willing to relocate to London.

Big plus if you have the following:

1. Experience in a startup environment where you’ve helped build infrastructure from the ground up.
2. Familiarity with AWS services like S3, EMR, and technologies like Terraform and Docker.
3. Know the ins and outs of current big data frameworks like Spark or Flink, but this is not an absolute requirement - you’re a quick learner!

This role is open to individuals based in or willing to relocate to London.
