Airbyte is an open-source data integration engine that syncs data from applications, APIs & databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations.

Airbyte is the open-source standard for EL(T). We enable data teams to replicate data from applications, APIs, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations. We believe only an open-source approach can solve the problem of data integration, as it enables us to cover the long tail of integrations while enabling teams to adapt pre-built connectors to their needs.

Within just 18 months, we've built 150+ connectors and we've had 9,000+ companies syncing data with us. We've raised $181M from some of the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome and let our product bring the users, rather than an outbound sales engine with cold calls.

Airbyte is remote friendly, with most of the team still based in Silicon Valley. We’re fully transparent as a company. Our company handbook, culture & values, strategy and roadmap are open to all.

Opportunity

The number of possible data integrations is growing at a faster rate than any single engineering team can support: new APIs, filesystems, and databases are born every day. We believe that in order to build thousands of high quality data integrations, we need to provide tools which minimize the effort required to build and maintain them. As such, Airbyte’s Connector Development Kit (CDK) is key to Airbyte’s goal of being the only ETL platform that can support all of a user’s connectors.The CDK will make it so easy to build a connector that it would be possible for anyone who wants to move data to do so in a UI in a no-code way. The CDK will be your leverage to help our community and engineers build out connectors. You will be building the connector factory that will bring Airbyte from 150 to 500 connectors in 2022, and thousands in 2023.

What You’ll Do

• Drive projects that make Airbyte the best tool for developing API source connectors
• Take Airbyte’s Python Connector Development Kit (CDK) to the next level in terms of features, usability, and performance
• Build leverage via engineering: a week-long project this month should be a ten minute task next month
• Guide product decisions and the team roadmap with engineering perspective
• Embed or rotate into the platform teams to execute on cross-cutting projects
• Engage with the open-source community via Github, Slack, or community events
• Grow your teammates through mentorship

What You'll Need

• 4+ years of software engineering experience
• A user-centric approach to building products and developer tools
• Proficiency in Python or Java
• You enjoy building abstractions & tools which multiply output
• Excited to work remote
• Excellent communication skills
• A passion for continuous learning and improvement (both at a personal and team level)
• Belief in our values

We provide

•  Fully remote flexible work environment - we don’t look at when you log in, log out or how much time you work. We look at your output and we trust you; it’s the only way remote can actually work.
• Unlimited vacation policy- we need you at your best at all times. Our expected minimum time off lets you schedule your work around your life.
• Co-working space - most of our team enjoyed the WFH life but if you prefer to work from a co-working space, we will cover the full monthly cost.
• Parental leave (for both parents) - so you have time to adjust to the new life (and work) schedule introduced by your new bundle of joy.
• Travel With Purpose - we are a fully distributed, 100% remote-friendly team, however, we recognize the value of in-person time. We will pay for round-trip flights, hotel, transportation, and food on weekdays for you to visit our headquarters in San Francisco, or other members of your team around the world.
• Open book policy - we will pay for books you purchase for your professional and career development.
• Continuous learning/training policy - we sponsor you for the conferences and training programs you feel would add to your development in the company.
• Competitive benefits package for US-based employees, including:
• Blue Shield or Kaiser Medical Insurance
• Dental & Vision Insurance
• Life and AD&D Insurance
• Long-term Disability Insurance to offer extra peace of mind, especially while we find ourselves in a global pandemic
• Healthcare insurance for those whose countries do not provide it for free.
• Mental Health Support for all team members provided via Spill.
• 401k for US-based employees.
• Sponsored visas for employees in need of them.

#LI-Remote

The platform is built in Java, but connectors can be built in any language, as they run as Docker containers. Most of our connectors are actually built in Python today.
