Atlan is changing the overwhelming volume and complexity of data by building the next generation of its App Framework, a foundation for developers to orchestrate the extraction, transformation, and loading of metadata from diverse data sources into Atlan's context store.
Requirements
- Strong fluency in databases — comfortable writing SQL across multiple dialects, with a solid grasp of NoSQL concepts and how schemas evolve across systems.
- A strong grasp of APIs and protocols — HTTP/REST fundamentals, authentication (OAuth2, API keys), pagination, and working with JSON/XML payloads; familiarity with GraphQL is a plus.
- Solid programming skills — writing clean, maintainable scripts and modules, using async patterns where needed, and incorporating tests and logging into your work.
- Good habits around testing, debugging, and observability — writing unit tests, using structured logs, and validating extraction logic in sandboxed environments.
- Curiosity around AI tools — willing to leverage AI to accelerate coding, debugging, and documentation.
Responsibilities
- Build metadata extraction apps for a wide range of databases, SaaS tools, and data systems using Atlan’s App Framework.
- Work with product managers to refine requirements and define what metadata should be extracted and how it’s modeled.
- Explore and connect to sources via APIs, SDKs, and database connectors.
- Write clean, maintainable Python code, leveraging framework abstractions for publishing, lineage computation, and state diffing.
- Test and validate extraction logic using sandboxes and mock environments.
- Contribute to a culture of observability, logging, and structured debugging to ensure metadata flows are reliable.
- Collaborate with the App Framework team to suggest improvements, spot abstraction gaps, and shape the developer experience.
Other
- Collaborative mindset to work closely with product managers to clarify requirements and ensure metadata extraction aligns with product goals.
- Ownership from Day One
- Limitless Opportunities
- A Global Data Community
- We are an equal opportunity employer
