Job description

Artie is a fully-managed real-time data streaming platform that replicates production databases into data warehouses and lakes - in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.

Our platform powers mission-critical use cases including fraud and risk monitoring, inventory visibility, customer-facing analytics, and AI/ML workloads.

We’re trusted by teams like Substack, Alloy, and ClickUp, and raised a Series A from top-tier investors including Standard Capital, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Pathlight, and the founders of Dropbox and Mode.

Artie is built for engineers who care about performance, reliability, and operational simplicity - and we’re growing fast.

Building new features into our product such as column exclusion, encryption, schema change alerts and more

Improving our internal tooling and build automation to make it easier to ship features and manage our infrastructure

What we are looking for
