Senior Software Engineer, Data Ingestion

Astronomer, the creator of Astro, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their R&D team focusing on data ingestion. This role is crucial for their data observability product, Astro Observe, which is built on OpenLineage events. As a globally-distributed, venture-backed team, Astronomer is at the forefront of data orchestration and observability.

The position offers an opportunity to work on mission-critical analytics and AI solutions, contributing to both proprietary and open-source projects. You'll be instrumental in designing and implementing OpenLineage data collection and ingestion efforts, directly impacting the platform's scalability and customer value delivery.
