Estuary

Estuary is a real-time data integration platform built for both fast-moving developers and large-scale enterprises. We combine change data capture (CDC), stream processing, and declarative configuration into a unified system that simplifies complex data movement. With Estuary, teams build reliable, low-latency pipelines—without the overhead of managing data infrastructure. The Role As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will be a core contributor to our Control and Data Planes. This is a high-impact role where you will build the high-performance backbone that manages distributed state, ensures sub-second latency, and scales to handle massive throughput. You’ll join a high-trust, collaborative team that values technical excellence, diverse perspectives, and clear communication. What You’ll Do - Architect & Build: Design and implement high-performance components for our data plane (stream processing and transport) and control plane (orchestration and state management). - Optimize for Scale: Profile and optimize systems primarily written in Rust to minimize latency and maximize resource efficiency. - Solve Distributed Problems: Lead initiatives around fault tolerance, consensus protocols (e.g., Raft), and high-performance networking. - Ensure Correctness: Write production-grade, highly-tested code and participate in thoughtful code reviews that help the whole team level up. - Collaborate & Mentor: Participate in technical design docs and code reviews, helping the team maintain high standards for performance, correctness, and developer experience. What We’re Looking For - 8+ years of experience in backend software development, with a focus on distributed systems or real-time infrastructure. - Systems Programming Expertise: Proficiency in Rust is highly preferred. Significant experience in Go or C/C++ with a desire to master Rust is also great. - Experience with Large-Scale Systems: You have a track record of building and operating systems that handle significant traffic or complex distributed state. - Strong Fundamentals: A deep understanding of concurrency, memory management, and networking (gRPC, TCP/IP). - Clear Communication: Ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Practical Experience: While a degree can be helpful, we value equivalent practical experience and your demonstrated ability to solve hard problems at scale. We know that excellence comes in many forms. If you don’t meet 100% of these qualifications but have a strong systems background and are excited about what we’re building, we encourage you to apply. Bonus Points For - Data Infrastructure Background: Experience with Change Data Capture (CDC), Kafka, Flink, or similar streaming technologies. - Open Source Contributions: Experience contributing to or maintaining data-centric open-source projects. - Startup Grit: Experience in fast-paced environments where you’ve balanced rapid iteration with long-term system stability. Why Estuary? Estuary is VC-backed and led by experienced, repeat founders. We are building a diverse, low-ego team that values ownership, fast iteration, and mutual respect. We offer: - Competitive compensation, equity, and full benefits. - Flexible remote work with a culture that respects work-life boundaries. - A high-autonomy environment where your contributions have a direct impact on the product. - Quarterly team offsites in cities like Miami, Austin, Boulder, and New Orleans to build community and connection.

Head of Applications Engineering Location: Remote US Reports to: CTO Titles: We’re flexible on leveling between Head of Engineering and Director of Engineering, commensurate with scope and experience. What’s the role Estuary powers “right-time” data replication and transform: from sub-second CDC replication to terabyte-scale OLAP data flows. We’re formalizing a Platform (foundational services) vs Applications (SaaS and technology integrations, transformation UX, AI enablement) structure across our team and technology stack, by hiring a Head of Applications Engineering to lead strategy, people, delivery, and operations as we transition from a flat team of generalists to durable, high-ownership pods. This role is a peer to the Head of Platform Engineering (founder CTO as interim). What you’ll do - Optimize project delivery. Develop processes and team loops that wrangle the competing needs of customers, partners, marketing, operations, and long-term product vision into a focused and achievable technical pipeline. - Maintain SLOs. Manage application issue triage and response so that customer impacts are evaluated and resolved expeditiously. Safeguard Estuary’s “fix bugs first” culture and protect our reputation for customer support and success as we grow. - Manage and nurture. Establish Estuary’s engineering management culture. Develop and organize the existing Applications team (a mix of early career through decades of experience), hire to meet scaling project needs, and tap your experience to layer the right structures and processes at the right time. - Partner tightly. Work with the co-founders and leads for compliance, marketing, sales, and support to develop our shared roadmap, refine scope into clear engineering commitments, set expectations, sequence work, and surface risks. - Operational excellence. Develop and champion quality standards and strategies for risk minimization. Improve development processes and experience. - Hiring engine. Own the engineering candidate lifecycle: sourcing, screening, interview structure, scoring, and onboarding. Work with in-house recruiting to achieve sustainable growth of exceptional hires. - Be a player‑coach. You’ll read design proposals, ask the right questions, build prototypes, and contribute code occasionally to stay on top of Estuary’s technology stack—this is not a pure people‑ops role, but requires honed judgement for “do” vs “delegate”. Qualifications - 8–12+ years in platform engineering with 3–5+ years leading teams; experience managing 8–20 engineers across 2–4 pods. - Proven ability to lead, introduce structure, and nurture engineering excellence across multiple teams in a complex domain, preferably B2B. - Evidence of hiring and leveling senior ICs and tech leads; manager‑of‑managers experience a plus. - Ability to communicate at all levels, and discuss nuanced technical concepts with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Experience leading and organizing incident response in high stakes settings. - Familiarity and interest in techniques for building data-intensive applications and platforms. How we work - High autonomy; engineers own the full feature lifecycle and often engage directly with users. - Remote‑first, Slack‑centric, async‑friendly with VCs as needed - Global team with a skew towards east-coast working hours Compensation & leveling Market‑competitive cash + equity.

Why Estuary Is the Place to Be Join us at a pivotal moment: we’re building the content engine to help define Estuary’s voice in the data/engineering world.
