Job description

Airbyte is the open-source standard for Data Movement. We enable data teams to move data from applications, APIs, unstructured sources, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, AI applications and LLMs. With our approach we are finally solving the need for extensibility and control that every company needs with data.

So far, our customers, users, and ourselves have built over 15,000 connectors and have had 200,000+ companies install Airbyte. We've raised $181M from the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and we believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome that all our users love.

We’re committed to providing as much context to our current employees and candidates. The Airbyte company handbook is open to all.

If you find this role exciting, we encourage you to apply even if you think you don’t meet all requirements.

Airbyte is taking a big swing to make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere. Our product manages the extract and load of data, so that developers and data practitioners can focus on building products, not moving data. As an engineer at Airbyte, you'll be part of the team that solves all the data movement challenges that a developer has ever faced, for the last time.

Airbyte is a containerized application that is operated by open-source and self-managed users across a series of platforms (e.g. GKE, EKS, kind, etc). The Deployments team empowers a diverse set of users across these different platforms to deploy and manage Airbyte at scale. This team defines which tools are on the golden path for deploying Airbyte (e.g. Helm, Terraform, etc) and creates a fast, seamless experience for getting started. In addition, it owns the upgrade story, to make sure that after a user has been successful, they continue to be successful as the product evolves.

We have positions open at multiple levels for this role. The “What You'll Need” section describes the minimum level that we have open. We have positions that will challenge a seasoned engineer at any level.

What You'll Do

• Use modern technologies to define the best way to set up Airbyte in all supported docker and Kubernetes environments.
• Enable integration of the Airbyte Platform with external observability and logging tools.
• Create tooling to provide a mature and stable upgrade experience.
• Work hand in hand with our largest partners, learning about their stacks and needs.
• Automate publishing of Airbyte artifacts (new releases, helm charts, terraform provider, etc).
• Craft a platform that orchestrates fast, reliable, and observable data movement across all connectors.
• Drive step function improvements in performance & reliability at scale.
• Build leverage: a week-long task this year should take ten minutes next year.
• Shape the roadmap for the team.
• Write high-leverage code.

What You'll Need

• 6+ years of software engineering experience.
• 2+ years of Java experience.
• Deep knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience in profiling and optimizing high-performance applications.
• You have an insatiable desire to ship.
• You take a user-centric approach to building products and developer tools.
• You enjoy building leverage through abstractions and tooling that multiply output.
• Ability to influence without authority and work with engineers junior and senior.
• A passion for continuous learning and improvement (both at a personal and team level).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Salary: $200,000 - $225,000 base salary + a generous equity package, and benefits listed above for U.S. market.
