Senior AI Platform Engineer

Airbyte is the data and action layer for AI agents. We give agents fast, accurate, authenticated access to business data across hundreds of sources, so they can discover the entities that matter, reason over real-time context, and take action in the systems they read from, not just observe them.

We started as the open-source standard for data movement and proved the economics of data integration at scale: hundreds of connectors, thousands of companies, and, since 2020, have raised $181M from leading investors including Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, and Y Combinator. As our CEO Michel Tricot puts it, "the last ten years were all about structured data. The future is all about context." We're now building that context infrastructure for production-grade agents on the same open foundation, as agents become the primary consumers of enterprise data.

Our mission is unchanged: make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere. That everyone now includes AI agents.

THE ROLE:

Airbyte is building the runtime that powers trustworthy AI agents. We believe the future isn't simply giving LLMs access to APIs, it's building the infrastructure that allows agents to reason over enterprise context, retrieve evidence, invoke actions safely, and explain every decision they make.

We're building the AI Runtime that sits between language models and enterprise systems. Our runtime resolves entities across hundreds of business systems, assembles the right context, chooses the appropriate connectors and skills, validates evidence, enforces permissions, executes actions safely, and returns responses users can trust.

The interface is becoming dramatically simpler: "Investigate this customer and tell me what changed." Behind that simple request is an intelligent runtime responsible for orchestration, routing, retrieval, evaluation, evidence generation, permissions, and action policies.
