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 10,000 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, core values, methodology, strategy, and roadmap are open to all.
Airbyte is in-person in our Embarcadero office weekly. If you find this role exciting, we encourage you to apply even if you think you don’t meet all requirements
Opportunity
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.
You'll be solving product and technical challenges that you have never seen before but will draw on your past expertise in building products that move and use data at scale. For example, our data pipelines need to be resilient to huge unpredictability in data (size variance record to record, 1MB syncs, and 1PB syncs). We are building systems that drive down the effort of connector creation and maintenance so that we can power a fleet of 1000s integrations.
As an Open-Source product, you will be reasoning about how to deploy the product into a diverse set of environments while maintaining a great product experience in all of them. The product that you build will meet every developer's data movement needs.
We have positions open at multiple levels fo 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.

- Build core technologies to manage a fleet of high-volume of data connectors.
- 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 some part of an ETL stack (e.g. Postgres, Snowflake, dbt, Kafka, Spark)
- 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 & verbal communication skills
- Belief in our values

Top Skills
What We Do
We want to become the data integration (ELT, reverse-ETL, event streaming, etc.) standard that most companies use in the future. This implies that our open-source technology will support both ingestion to warehouses from any tool, database or SaaS, and distribution of data to any SaaS tools.
On top of that, we will build data quality monitoring, privacy compliance (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, etc.), and enterprise features (role access/management, SSO, etc.).
You should be able to build your own ELT platform internally, while having complete control over your data and costs (not indexed on MTUs). If any integration that you need is missing, we will make it super easy for you to build it and to use our orchestration and scheduling features for it.
We will stay at parity with the incumbent’s features (Fivetran, StitchData) at first (see our [high-level roadmap](https://go.airbyte.com/roadmap)), as our differentiation is on:
- open source, enabling you to add your own integration very easily and customize any pre-built one;
- data privacy and control; and
- volume-based pricing
