Founding Product Engineer

About the role

We're a small, dynamic team based in San Francisco, and we're looking for a founding engineer to join us. In this in-person role, you'll have the opportunity to wear multiple hats, interact directly with our customers, and play a vital part in shaping the future of our product.

This is a challenging and dynamic role where you'll be working at the forefront of distributed systems, infrastructure and data engineering.

What you should expect and examples of day-day tasks:

• Talking to customers (who are technical and have an engineering background) to streamline their workflows and improve the UX of our product
• Building new features into our product such as column exclusion, encryption, schema change alerts and more
• Improving our internal tooling and build automation to make it easier to ship features and manage our infrastructure

Artie is a real-time database replication solution for databases and data warehouses. We do this by leveraging Kafka and change data capture (CDC). We're growing fast - we launched our cloud product a year ago and have surpassed 1M ARR.

We're backed by Pathlight Ventures, General Catalyst and other world class investors like Benn Stancil (Mode), Lenny Rachitsky (Lenny's News Letter), and others.
