Airbyte, The Open Data Movement Platform.
The Role

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, core valuesmethodologystrategy, and roadmap are 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

The Airbyte UI is an intuitive and powerful UI that simplifies complex data replication for everyone. It empowers non-technical users to get up and running quickly and equips power users to optimize and monitor their pipelines.

In addition, the Frontend Chapter owns the Connector Builder, Connector Marketplace, and enables excellent contributor experience for both Airbyte and community engineers. Connector Builder already powers thousands of Airbyte users to move data from their internal sources into data warehouses, databases, and vector DBs, and we’re just getting started! Your work will empower the Airbyte API sources team, solutions engineering, and support engineering teams to use Builder to enable our community. You’ll help make Builder the best IDE for data connectors. 

Frontend engineers are embedded in different product teams. As the Frontend Chapter Lead, you will foster a community of the frontend engineers across all of Engineering. You will facilitate communication and knowledge sharing across all frontend devs. You will be responsible for making sure the frontend codebase remains cohesive despite contributions from across the org and maintain a high standard for quality. You will also be a mentor to the other frontend engineers. Last, but not least, you are an engineer on the team and are expected to spend most of your time working hands on technical projects.

What You'll Do

  • Build a strong frontend culture
  • Mentor the members of the frontend chapter
  • Organize frontend efforts across the entire engineering team
  • Write high-leverage code and provide architectural guidance

What You'll Need

  • Expert knowledge of frontend technologies. Our frontend stack is Javascript and React.

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Experience building developer tools and/or B2B applications.

  • A passion for continuous learning and improvement (both at a personal and team level).
