About the role
- You'll work primarily in Python across our CDKs, Connector Builder ecosystem, automation frameworks, rollout systems, and AI-driven operational tooling.
- This is a highly autonomous role for an engineer who thrives in ambiguous environments, exercises strong technical judgment, and wants to shape how AI changes software development and operational reliability.
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve the Python systems that power integrations across both Airbyte Data Replication and Airbyte Agents.
- Build systems that use AI to detect, diagnose, and remediate connector failures with minimal human intervention.
- Design tooling and abstractions that enable Airbyte engineers to build, roll out, and monitor integrations faster and more reliably.
- Drive initiatives focused on self-healing infrastructure, intelligent retries, automated compatibility fixes, and operational resilience.
- Partner closely with Customer Engineering and Support teams to identify recurring operational issues and eliminate them systematically through automation and platform improvements.
- Lead technically ambiguous projects from exploration through production rollout while balancing speed, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
- 5+ years professional experience building backend systems and developer tooling in Python.
- Ability to independently drive large or ambiguous technical initiatives and make strong tradeoff decisions with business context in mind.
Requirements
- Experience designing extensible frameworks, APIs, automation systems, or platforms used by other engineers.
- Experience leveraging AI or LLM APIs in engineering workflows, developer tooling, operational systems, or product experiences.
- Experience improving engineering velocity and operational reliability through automation and platform investments.
- Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction beyond your immediate team.
- Every sync, every AI workflow, and every customer use case depends on our ability to reliably integrate with APIs, databases, filesystems, and SaaS platforms at massive scale.
Nice to have
- Experience working with data integration systems, ETL/ELT pipelines, APIs, or connector frameworks.
- Familiarity with Airbyte CDKs, Connector Builder, MCP servers, agent tooling, or low-code integration platforms.
- Experience contributing to or maintaining open source projects.
- Familiarity with rollout strategies, progressive deployments, compatibility migrations, or automated remediation systems.
- Experience working with large-scale API ecosystems and handling schema evolution, rate limiting, or unreliable upstream systems.
