Java Distributed Systems ETL AWS Docker Big Data Frameworks

FULL DESCRIPTION

Summary

Etleap is seeking Software Engineers to join their team in San Francisco or London. They are looking for engineers to build the infrastructure that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their analytics infrastructure. The role involves solving challenging engineering problems related to the performance and robustness of distributed systems infrastructure, coming up with novel ideas on how to make complex data technology user-friendly, and then turn those ideas into software.

  • Solve challenging engineering problems related to the performance and robustness of distributed systems infrastructure
  • Come up with novel ideas on how to make complex data technology user-friendly, and then turn those ideas into software
  • Collaborate on the design and development of the next generation of ETL/ELT infrastructure that prioritizes user-friendliness and flexibility

The key skills required include mastery in Java and a passion for building scalable, reliable systems. The candidate should be based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco or London. Experience in a startup environment where you’ve helped build infrastructure from the ground up, and familiarity with AWS services like S3, EMR, and technologies like Terraform and Docker are a big plus.

Software Engineer

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 both junior and 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.

What you are going to do:

  • Solve challenging engineering problems related to the performance and robustness of distributed systems infrastructure
  • Come up with novel ideas on how to make complex data technology user-friendly, and then turn those ideas into software
  • Collaborate on the design and development of the next generation of ETL/ELT infrastructure that prioritizes user-friendliness and flexibility

What we want to see in you:

  • You are drawn to and have experience solving challenging engineering problems
  • Mastery in Java and a passion for building scalable, reliable systems
  • You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment
  • You’re down to earth and fun to be around. This is an absolute must!
  • Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco or London

Big plus if you have the following:

  • Experience in a startup environment where you’ve helped build infrastructure from the ground up.
  • Familiarity with AWS services like S3, EMR, and technologies like Terraform and Docker.
  • Know the ins and outs of current big data frameworks like Spark or Flink, but this is not an absolute requirement - you’re a quick learner!

What we are offering:

  • A competitive equity package, aligning your success with the company's growth.
  • Comprehensive health benefits, unlimited PTO, and daily catered lunch.
  • Prime office locations in San Francisco and London, conveniently accessible by public transportation.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career progression in a rapidly growing company.
  • A collaborative, inclusive company culture prioritizing work-life balance.

This role is open to individuals willing to work in our San Francisco or London office.
