Airbyte, San Francisco
You'll be one of two infrastructure and reliability specialists on the Data Replication team, a full-stack product team running millions of sync jobs a week that power thousands of data use cases across multiple regions and clouds. You'll build and maintain the infrastructure, set reliability standards, drive down incidents, and make it easier and safer for engineers to ship.
Expect to spend roughly 30 to 50% of your time in backend application code, and the rest on infrastructure and reliability. When the fix belongs in the application, you'll ship it there yourself, and you'll build features alongside product engineers. We believe every abstraction leaks, so the best engineers work up and down the stack. You're equally comfortable in a Terraform file, a Kubernetes cluster, a service's codebase, and a postmortem doc. And with two of you in the room, we want someone who will challenge a design, not just implement it.
We expect engineers here to actively use AI as a force multiplier: agentic tools to automate toil, augment incident response, and build smarter internal tooling. If you're not already doing this, you should be excited to start. We care as much about how you work as what you build. Trust, directness, and craftsmanship matter here.
We’re on a mission to make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere. With 700+ connectors, our platform powers analytics and gives AI agents the business context they need to do real work. More than 25,000 companies, including 20% of the Fortune 500, rely on Airbyte to put their data to work.
We’re built on open source because we believe companies should have full control over their data. A community of 27K members helps shape what we build, and we’re backed by $181M from investors including Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, and Y Combinator.
Models keep getting better. What holds AI back is the data informing and shaping its decisions, and that's the layer we're building.
We’re just getting started. If you’re excited by big challenges, meaningful ownership, and the chance to help build what’s next, we’d love to meet you.
At Airbyte, we believe great work happens when people feel supported, trusted, and empowered to grow. Our market-leading Total Rewards package is designed to help you thrive professionally and personally. Our benefits and perks include:
