Founding Engineer (Distributed Systems)

Artie is an innovative startup focused on real-time database replication solutions for databases and data warehouses. Founded in 2023 and backed by notable investors including Pathlight, General Catalyst, and prominent angels from companies like Mode, Dropbox, and more. The company is currently processing over 10 billion rows per month and growing rapidly.

As a Founding Engineer specializing in Distributed Systems, you'll join a small team of 7 based in San Francisco. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of real-time data streaming technology. You'll work directly with customers and have significant input in product development, focusing on crucial areas like distributed systems, data engineering, and infrastructure.

The technical stack includes TypeScript with React and Material UI for frontend development, Go for backend services, and utilizes technologies like Postgres, Redis, Kafka, and Elasticsearch. The infrastructure is managed through Terraform, Kubernetes, and Helm, deployed across GCP and AWS.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the chance to work on cutting-edge technology that leverages change data capture (CDC) and stream processing to achieve sub-minute latency in data transfers. You'll be instrumental in defining the next generation data platform that aims to drive data latency to zero while maintaining ease of use and extensibility.

The ideal candidate will be someone who not only has strong technical skills but also embraces the startup mentality of wearing multiple hats and being pragmatic in their approach to problem-solving. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to make a significant impact in the data engineering space while working with modern technologies and architectures.
