AI Platform Engineer

About Airbyte

Airbyte is the data and action layer for AI agents. We give agents fast, accurate, authenticated access to business data across hundreds of sources, enabling them to discover relevant entities, reason over real-time context, and take action in enterprise systems. Founded as the open-source standard for data movement, we've raised $181M from leading investors including Benchmark, Accel, Y Combinator, and others, serving hundreds of connectors and thousands of companies since 2020.

The Role

We're building the runtime that powers trustworthy AI agents—infrastructure that sits between language models and enterprise systems. This role focuses on designing the orchestration layer that transforms natural-language intent into reliable execution, enabling agents to reason over enterprise context, retrieve evidence, invoke actions safely, and explain every decision.

You'll help define how our AI runtime works at a foundational level, with significant room to shape architecture and user-facing experiences as we scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Build the AI Runtime: Design and implement the orchestration layer for natural-language intent execution
• Build systems for entity resolution, context assembly, connector orchestration, and evidence retrieval
• Develop reusable Skills that encapsulate business workflows and domain expertise
• Create routing systems that intelligently coordinate connectors, tools, deterministic logic, and multiple language models
• Build Products Users Trust: Ensure transparency, auditability, and user confidence in agent decisions
• Own user-facing experiences that make the runtime accessible and trustworthy

Our Mission

Make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere—now including AI agents. We're building context infrastructure for production-grade agents on the same open foundation that powers our data integration platform.
