Job Description:

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.So far, we've built over 350 connectors and have had 60,000+ companies replicating 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.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.

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.
