Software Engineer, 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.

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.

Airbyte is a hybrid workplace with most of the team based in Silicon Valley. 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.

Unless stated otherwise, all roles are Hybrid in our Embarcadero office Tuesday through Thursday. If you find this role exciting, we encourage you to apply even if you think you don’t meet all requirements.

Opportunity

As an Engineer on the Destinations team, you will push forward Airbyte’s mission-critical connectors that deliver customer data to databases and data warehouses. Our users are looking to coalesce all of their data into a single warehouse. This requires these destinations to be highly reliable, predictable, and efficient. It also requires them to be highly configurable to meet different warehousing and scaling needs. These destinations lay the foundation for our user's data strategies, and are the primary way our users interface with our product.

You will be responsible for defining the framework for how Airbyte interacts with and stores data in all data warehouses.  You will ensure that we can represent a wide variety of data types in ways that empower our users. You will also make sure we leverage warehouse-specific features to make Airbyte best-in-class for each destination that we support.  Finally, you will help to build the tools to empower our community to create and extend destinations on thier own.
