Job Description

Datafold is a fast-growing, Series A startup at the forefront of data quality and observability—think Datadog for data engineers. Backed by top-tier investors including YC, Amplify, and NEA, we're redefining how companies like Disney, FanDuel, and Perplexity maintain quality across the entire data lifecycle. Although headquartered in the US, we’re a fully remote team with employees across the US and EU.

We’re looking for an experienced backend (or full-stack) engineer to help build and scale the Datafold Migration Agent (DMA)—an AI-powered tool that’s changing the game in data migration. Combining large language models with our unique data diffing technology, DMA automates SQL dialect translation and data reconciliation, slashing migration timelines by 5-10x and eliminating the need for manual work and costly consultants.

About the Role

  • Drive the development of DMA, shaping both the technical and architectural foundation for a product that combines AI and data engineering to solve complex migration challenges.

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend systems focused on AI-driven SQL translation and cross-database data comparison.

  • Collaborate with early customers to refine features and iterate toward product-market fit.

  • Make strategic technical decisions to ensure DMA is scalable, robust, and optimized for high-performance data migration.

  • Take ownership of projects end-to-end, troubleshooting and resolving complex challenges in real time to deliver high-quality, impactful results.

About You

  • Experience : 5+ years as a software engineer with a strong backend focus.

  • Tech Stack : Proficiency in Python is required; experience building with LLMs and/or JavaScript/TypeScript is a plus.

  • Ownership : Proven ability to manage projects end-to-end, from design through deployment.

  • Startup Mindset : Thoughtful about balancing speed, quality, and business impact.

If building a high-impact, innovative product at the intersection of AI and data engineering sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you.
