Community Assistance Team Engineer, Open-Source

 

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 15,000+ 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.

 

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

• Document solutions and application behavior to grow our Knowledge Base both internally and externally, and help maintain support while scaling with growth
• Communicate feedback from users to the Product and Engineering orgs, and vice versa
