- You’ll partner closely with client stakeholders and internal teams to deliver reliable, performant integrations and continuously improve the integration platform that powers them
- This role is perfect for a senior data engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments, values customer impact, and wants to shape the systems they operate in
- You'll help us grow our integration platform from handling 500+ Airflow jobs and 100GB of data ingested daily to 1TB+ and thousands of jobs as our business scales

Our take
With the increased migration to the digital world, sales teams are under mounting pressure. Proton.ai is one of a crop of new companies that solves this problem through automation.
The sales automation market is booming, and companies are having to specialize in order to survive. Proton.ai has carved out a successful niche by focusing its attention on wholesale distributors, a previously underserved corner of the sales sector. Proton.ai's tools help sales reps and their customers manage products across multiple channels.
By tapping into the lucrative wholesale market and working with (rather than against) incumbent enterprises, Proton.ai has scaled at an enviable pace. Its considerable funding will help the company to remain competitive, especially against the likes of Shopify, which has made a successful move into the wholesale eCommerce market.
