- 🗄️ Database Engineers
- ☁️ Site Reliability Engineers
- 🔌 Extensibility API Engineers
- 🤖 AI Agents Engineers
- 👤 Engineering Managers
What You’ll Do:
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Platform Engineers, Fullstack Engineers, and SREs. Recruit engineers who understand that infrastructure decisions are product decisions.
- Own the reliability and operational health of Airbyte's production systems.
- Define the roadmap for Airbyte's platform: infrastructure, CI/CD, deployment automation, observability, internal tooling, and the product surfaces built on top of them.
- Invest in and drive adoption of AI-powered workflows for debugging, release validation, infrastructure management, and developer productivity, moving past experimentation into real operational leverage.
- Lead incident response, run blameless postmortems, and ensure systemic fixes follow every outage. Continuously reduce operational toil through automation.
- Build leverage: a week-long task this year should take ten minutes next year.
Success Metrics:
- Engineers deploy with confidence and ship faster quarter over quarter.
- Platform reliability improves as measured by customer-facing SLAs, not just internal dashboards.
- Operational toil decreases through automation, not heroics.
- Incidents are detected faster, resolved faster, and the same failure doesn't happen twice.
- Your team is engaged, growing, and building careers they're proud of.
What You’ll Need:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, 2+ years managing engineering teams.
- Experience leading Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, SRE, or Developer Productivity organizations.
- Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and distributed systems.
- Experience operating production systems at scale.
- You think about platform work in terms of customer impact, not just engineering elegance.
- You've navigated the tension between paying down tech debt and shipping product, and you can articulate how you made those calls.
- Excellent communication skills. You can translate platform strategy into language that product, design, and business leaders understand.
- You have an insatiable desire to ship.
Nice To Have:
- Experience with AI-assisted engineering workflows or agentic software development.
- Experience building internal developer platforms.
- Familiarity with Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and cloud-native infrastructure.
- Experience with data infrastructure, ETL/ELT, or large-scale distributed systems.
- Experience contributing to open-source engineering organizations.
- Familiarity with Airbyte, connector ecosystems, or developer tooling platforms.
Location:

- 401(k) retirement plan
- Professional development budget, conference sponsorship, and book reimbursement
- Commuter benefits and monthly internet reimbursement
- Breakfast and lunch in our San Francisco office
- A collaborative, in-person culture focused on learning, growth, and impact
