Senior Software Engineer

Etleap's mission is to transform the way businesses drive analytics projects. We started Etleap out of frustration with the exorbitant amounts of engineering work required to set up, maintain, and scale data pipelines for analytics. Our vision is to make it simple for analytics teams to quickly and securely connect the data sources that power their businesses. We’re doing this by removing all of the traditional complexities of data integration and creating a new kind of ETL that enables the end user of data to integrate and transform data from any source. Our team is customer-obsessed and values openness and being experimental. We’re growing fast, and we’re backed by First Round Capital, SV Angel, Y Combinator, and a number of other top-tier investors. Senior Software Engineer San Francisco (in person) At Etleap, we’re redefining how data teams build and manage data pipelines. Our no-code/low-code ETL platform allows seamless integration of data from any source — whether databases, applications, or files — into lakehouses like Snowflake, Databricks, and Redshift. With pipelines that "just work" and features like advanced data transformation using dbt Core and end-to-end pipeline observability, we’re focused on making robust data pipelines accessible to everyone. We are looking to add senior engineers to our core engineering team to build the infrastructure that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their analytics infrastructure! It shouldn’t take a CS degree to build great data pipelines, and abstracting away the difficult parts is our mission.
