Job Description

About Orchestra

Orchestra is an AI-native data pipelining platform built for fast-moving data teams. We help data engineers move faster by providing powerful orchestration, observability, and automation tools out of the box--so teams can focus on delivering business impact, not stitching together infrastructure and maintaining old pipelines.

We're thoughtful, driven, and pragmatic. Working in the data space requires the ability to simplify complexity and make smart decisions quickly. We value people who balance execution with intention--those who can move with agility and learn from every iteration. We're still early, and we're growing quickly.

Joining Orchestra now means having a hand in building the company--shaping our culture, influencing the product, and helping define how we work. You'll collaborate closely with experienced leaders and play a pivotal role in our journey. Whether you're building product, shaping go-to-market strategy, or scaling customer success, your work will directly impact our trajectory.

If you're excited by ownership, fast iteration, and building high-leverage tools for the modern data stack, we'd love to hear from you.
