What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Full-Stack Engineer, Airbyte Embedded position at Airbyte?
Airbyte is the open-source standard for Data Movement. We enable data teams to move data from applications, APIs, unstructured sources, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, AI applications and LLMs. With our approach we are finally solving the need for extensibility and control that every company needs with data.
So far, our customers, users, and ourselves have built over 10,000 connectors and have had 200,000 companies install Airbyte. 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're committed to providing as much context to our current employees and candidates. The Airbyte company handbook is open to all.
Airbyte is in-person in our Embarcadero office weekly. If you find this role exciting, we encourage you to apply even if you think you don't meet all requirements
The Opportunity
Airbyte is building a new product to help developers of AI applications load in their user's context to create more powerful agents. We call this new product "Airbyte Embedded." The growth in AI products for support, sales, marketing, enterprise search (and more) is unprecedented, and all of these new AI-powered tools need access to numerous source systems quickly and reliably. We'll be leveraging Airbyte's existing connectors and parts of our infrastructure, while building our own data, communication, and syncing layer for this product. We'll also be integrating AI data preparation into the syncs (e.g. OCR / parsing, embedding calculation, etc). We've started a dedicated new team to focus on solving this and related problems at-scale, and are looking for our first engineering hire.
We are building distributed systems with tools like FastAPI, React, Postgres, DuckDB, and Docker, as well as the services provided from AWS and GCP. As a Founding Full-stack engineer, you enjoy solving problems and building leverage at all layers of the technology stack. You are quickly able to understand and be productive in new technologies, but necessarily aren't an expert in all of them. If you've been a previous founder before, and you love working with customers to develop new products, like the first version of a big-data, AI-centric, SaaS product, we would love to hear from you!
What You'll Do :
- Pioneer new frameworks and patterns for extracting from Airbyte's myriad sources and incrementally delivering them to operators.
- Build core technologies to manage a fleet of high-volume data connectors on behalf of our customers.
- Craft a platform that orchestrates fast, reliable, and observable data movement and normalization.
- Co-develop the operations for this new product (with the help of Airbyte's existing experts), including support and sales.
- Drive step function improvements in performance & reliability at scale.
- Build leverage : a week-long task this year should take ten minutes next year.
- Shape the roadmap for the team.
- Write high-leverage code.
