Job Description

• 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.

Job 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.
Collaborative mindset to work closely with product managers to clarify requirements and ensure metadata extraction aligns with product goals.
