Airbyte is the open‑source standard for data movement. We've enabled data teams to move data from applications, APIs, unstructured sources and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and AI applications. With tens of thousands of connectors built and hundreds of thousands of companies adopting Airbyte, we've proven the economics of data integration at scale. And now Airbyte is building the frontier agentic data infrastructure, purpose-built for AI agents that need fast, accurate access to data across hundreds of sources. Our mission: make data available and actionable, everywhere.

We've raised $181M from the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and we believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome that all our users love. We’ve raised enough capital to explore boldly, but we still choose to move quickly, stay scrappy, and experiment constantly as we find the right paths in an AI-native landscape.

The Role:

  • Lead hiring and closing efforts by driving offer strategy and negotiation in partnership with hiring managers, balancing candidate experience, pay equity, and business needs

  • Drive operational excellence by continuously improving recruiting processes, introducing best practices, and influencing the business to maintain a high bar for talent acquisition as Airbyte scales

What You’ll Need:

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across multiple roles, with a strong record of delivering results

  • 3+ years recruiting highly specialized technical talent across data infrastructure and platform engineering, including software engineers, data engineers, and ML/AI engineers
