Founding Product Engineer

Artie (YC S23)
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 9/26/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/26/2025
About Artie

We are building Artie, a real-time data streaming solution focused on databases and data warehouses. Typical ETL solutions leverage batched processes or schedulers (DAGs, Airflow), which cannot achieve real time data syncs. We leverage change data capture (CDC) and stream processing to perform data transfers in a more efficient way, which enables sub-minute latency.

We're growing fast - we launched our cloud product a year ago and have surpassed 1M ARR. We're backed by Pathlight Ventures, General Catalyst and other world class investors like Benn Stancil (Mode), Lenny Rachitsky (Lenny's NewsLetter), and others.

  • Building new features into our product such as column exclusion, encryption, schema change alerts and more
  • Improving our internal tooling and build automation to make it easier to ship features and manage our infrastructure

What we are looking for

  • Minimum 4 years experience in Product Engineering
  • Strong fundamentals in computer science or related field
  • Pragmatic and care more about building the right thing vs. being right
  • Comfortable jumping around the stack and wearing different hats
  • Someone that is passionate about building products that are easy to use and extensible
  • Proficiency writing in Go is preferred, but not necessary

Tech stack
