Junior Engineer-Data Plane

Requirements

• Computer Science or adjacent degree (completion by May 2025) or boot camp graduate/self-taught programmer with Software Engineering experience.
• You are comfortable coding in Java/Kotlin
• Excellent technical research skills (the problems we face don’t have answers on Stackoverflow, we need to get into the weeds and run experiments).
• You describe yourself as an analytical, self-starter with a growth mindset.
• You have an insatiable desire to ship.
• You enjoy building abstractions & tools which multiply output.
• You are passionate about continuous learning and improvement (both at a personal and team level)
• Belief in our values.

Responsibilities

• Own core technologies: Contribute to Airbyte’s platform, open-source platform, and cloud product. Write applications and infrastructure code. Deploy new features to production and manage a fleet of high-volume data connectors.
• Address issues in our codebase: Work with internal and external engineers to identify bugs. Use your software and data-engineering skills to debug and unblock customers who are experiencing complex technical issues. At times, you’ll be accessing live customer data, so care and caution are paramount. Replicate issues, diagnose problematic code or platform versions, and ship fixes.
• Build leverage: Jump into our developer tools to increase monitoring/alerting, write SQL queries, build dashboards, create automation scripts and regularly challenge our engineering processes. A week-long task this year should take ten minutes next year.
• Grow our knowledge base: Document solutions and application behavior to grow our knowledge base both internally and externally. User-facing docs are regularly updated to provide additional clarity and are edited with relevant troubleshooting and limitations. Refine your customer-centric written & verbal communication skills.
• Engage with the open-source community: Attend industry and company events, review pull requests, monitor our Slack and Github discussions
• Grow as a developer: Receive in-person mentorship from some of the best engineers in the industry whilst learning new technologies. Become familiar with distributed systems, data pipelines, ERP systems, blob storage, cloud hosting. Develop a user-centric approach to building products and developer tools.
