Technical Support Engineer
Airbyte- fullTime
- Posted : 9 months ago
Airbyte is the open-source standard for EL(T). We enable data teams to replicate data from applications, APIs, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations. We believe only an open-source approach can solve the problem of data integration, as it enables us to cover the long tail of integrations while enabling teams to adapt pre-built connectors to their needs.
Within just 18 months, we've built 150+ connectors and we've had 15,000+ companies syncing data with us. We've raised $181M from some of the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome and let our product bring the users, rather than an outbound sales engine with cold calls.
Airbyte is remote friendly, with most of the team still based in Silicon Valley. We’re fully transparent as a company. Our company handbook, culture & values, strategy and roadmap are open to all. We are looking for someone either in or willing to work in in ET hours.
Opportunity
The goal of the Technical Support Engineer is to provide world-class support to our Airbyte OSS Enterprise customer and set a new standard for community engagement in open source software (OSS). Airbyte is community powered; together we are making OSS the standard for ETL.
