Orchestra is a Unified Control Plane for Data Operations. Instead of learning and deploying an open-source orchestration package, Orchestra helps data engineers trigger and coordinate jobs across the whole modern data stack, with alerting and analytics out of the box. This helps data teams focus on what matters - creating business value.

At Orchestra, we’re thoughtful, driven and pragmatic. The complex data space requires us to think broadly and reason complicated concepts into simple ones. The pace is intense. Drive is a prerequisite. We love pragmatic people who strike a good balance between “doing” and “planning”.

We encourage an environment where speed, agility, and innovation are the norm. With a focus on continuous improvement and rapid iteration, we're always looking to build more and build faster. Our team is passionate about leveraging the latest technologies to build cutting-edge solutions that make a real impact. As part of our growing organisation, you'll have the unique opportunity to shape the direction of our company and play a key role in shaping its future. Your responsibilities will evolve alongside ours, offering opportunities for professional development and leadership.
