Job description
from Airbyte careersAirbyte is the open‑source standard for data movement. We've enabled data teams to move data from applications, APIs, unstructured sources and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and AI applications. With tens of thousands of connectors built and hundreds of thousands of companies adopting Airbyte, we've proven the economics of data integration at scale. And now Airbyte is building the frontier agentic data infrastructure, purpose-built for AI agents that need fast, accurate access to data across hundreds of sources. Our mission: make data available and actionable, everywhere.
We've raised $181M from the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and we believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome that all our users love. We’ve raised enough capital to explore boldly, but we still choose to move quickly, stay scrappy, and experiment constantly as we find the right paths in an AI-native landscape.
The Role:
You'll be a Software Engineer on the Data Replication team - a full-stack product team running over 3 million sync jobs a week across multiple regions and clouds.
Your focus: the Control and Data Plane systems that handle configuration, job lifecycle, and load scaling, plus Destinations, the strategic integrations Airbyte writes to. You'll occasionally go deep into infrastructure when the problem demands it.
