Software Engineer, Data Warehouses

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 the past 24 months, we've built over 200+ connectors and we've had 25,000+ 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 remote friendly, with most of the team still based in Silicon Valley. We’re fully transparent as a company. Our company handbook, core values, methodology, 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.

Opportunity

As a Senior Engineer on the Databases team, you will push forward Airbyte’s most popular connectors: destination 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.

You will be responsible for defining the framework for how Airbyte interacts with and stores data in all data warehouses. You will also make sure we leverage warehouse-specific features to make Airbyte best-in-class for each destination that we support.

What You'll Do

• Drive step function improvements in warehouse connectors performance & reliability
• Build leverage: a week-long task this year should take ten minutes next year
• Pioneer the creation of new patterns, tools, and frameworks for building warehouse connectors
• Help shape the Warehouse Connectors team roadmap
• Improve engineering processes and documentation
• Design how Airbyte should present data in destinations to meet warehousing best practices
• Write high-leverage code.
• Mentor senior engineers

What You'll Need

• Expert knowledge of multiple cloud data warehouses like Snowflake or BigQuery
• Experience in profiling and optimizing high performance applications
• 4+ years of software engineering experience. Hiring at all experienced levels!
• 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)
