Founding Engineer (Distributed Systems)

Artie is an innovative startup revolutionizing real-time database replication 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, Artie is processing over 10 billion rows monthly just a year after launch.

As a Founding Engineer focusing on Distributed Systems, you'll join a small but dynamic team in San Francisco as their third founding engineer. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of data engineering and distributed systems. You'll work directly with customers and wear multiple hats while building critical features like column encryption, analytics portals, and CDC connectors.

The tech stack is modern and robust, utilizing TypeScript and React for frontend, Go for backend, and advanced technologies like Kafka, Kubernetes, and Helm for infrastructure. The team leverages change data capture (CDC) and stream processing to achieve sub-minute latency in data transfers, setting them apart from traditional ETL solutions.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior engineer who wants to make a significant impact in the data streaming space. You'll work alongside founders and have the chance to define the next generation of data platforms. The role offers competitive compensation including both salary and equity, reflecting the founding nature of the position.

The ideal candidate will combine strong computer science fundamentals with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving. While experience with specific technologies like Go, Kafka, and Kubernetes is preferred, the team values adaptability and the ability to learn over specific technical requirements.
