Now hiring: Founding Engineer

Why Sync Inc

Integrating with third-party platforms has looked the same for the past 15+ years: bespoke and limited JSON APIs. Want to help change that?

At Sync Inc, we help developers skip APIs. Instead of having to learn the ins-and-outs of a third-party API to access their data, developers use us to replicate API data to their database in real-time instead.

No API docs. No querying, sorting, filtering, pagination, or rate limits. Just the data in your database, with schemas that each contain your data from the third-party platforms you use, like Stripe, Zendesk, Airtable, Shopify, Quickbooks, etc.

Every row from the databases of every provider in your stack, all in one place. Imagine the convenience of being able to access all your data in plain SQL or using an ORM. This means our customers can build internal tools, customer-facing workflows, and analytics systems on top of all the data across their stack in minutes or hours, not days or weeks.

We launched in December 2020 and have been growing quickly ever since. We're already working with some amazing companies.

You

We're searching for our first engineer to join us on the journey. First engineers are a special breed: entrepreneurial self-starters. Ambitious. Creative. Optimistic. Energetic. High-integrity. People we can share many laughs with.

Experience is important, but we care most about raw horsepower. This will be a high-growth ride for all of us.

While the potential is huge, the road ahead is full of challenges and risks and highs and lows. But we've already experienced so much richness and we can't wait to share it.

At every step of the way, our company places a high value on mental and physical health. We work hard, but know we need to sleep a full 8, eat well, exercise, and make time for loved ones to maximize our energy and do our best work. We tinker here a lot. And we find we are happiest when faced with a good challenge. If this resonates, this is the place for you.

Key responsibilities:

We use (and love) Elixir/Phoenix. You don't need prior experience here, just curiosity and a desire to learn. If you're coming from Ruby/Node/Python, you'll pick it up especially quick.

  1. Evolve our integration platform. Help us launch the rest of our initial integrations. Lay the foundations for our team to build our Nth platform integration in the future.
  2. Help us make our developer experience as world-class as possible. From on-boarding, to dev and test, to pushing to prod.
  3. Help us define our engineering culture and practices.
