Customer Support Developer at Airbyte focusing on database support and integration development. Collaborating with customers to ensure effective data movement and integration.
Responsibilities
Serve as the primary technical escalation point for database-related customer issues, responding via email, ticketing systems, and video calls with precision and clarity.
Triage and prioritize incoming issues with urgency, consistently meeting SLA targets while leveraging AI tools to work smarter and resolve issues faster.
Dig into complex issues across relational databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and cloud object storage, not just finding workarounds but partnering with Engineering to root-cause and drive real fixes.
Reproduce customer-reported bugs by inspecting connector logs, query plans, replication slots, transaction logs, sync state, and destination table state, and document findings with enough technical detail for Engineering to act on immediately.
Support customers through onboarding and troubleshooting for SSH tunnels, network configuration, database user permissions, CDC setup (WAL/binlog/redo logs), and warehouse/lake authentication.
Get hands-on with customers building and debugging integrations, helping them navigate Airbyte's database sources and destinations with confidence, from authentication and SSL/SSH setup to CDC, schema evolution, incremental cursors, and typed destination tables.
Validate database version compatibility across supported engines and releases, maintain testing environments, and reproduce customer-reported behavior on real database and warehouse instances.
Help customers running database sources (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, and more) troubleshoot replication behavior, cursor selection, full-refresh vs. incremental vs. CDC trade-offs, and sync state recovery.
Contribute directly to Airbyte's open-source database connectors and the Java/Kotlin Bulk CDK: fix bugs, improve error handling, harden schema-evolution and CDC paths, and submit pull requests to the Airbyte repository.
