Working in an international distributed team;

Support of developers: an important part of the process is to unblock developers work by creating test accounts, test/sandbox environments to test connectors and populate them with data. This greatly varies in difficulty/complexity.

Some examples of this work:
Create a Stripe account and hit their HTTP API to populate the sandbox account (relatively easy)
Create a google Ads account, run a small ads campaign (including creating any taglines, sample images, etc..) to populate the account with data the connector can test. This is needed because GoogleAds doesn’t offer a sandbox (medium difficulty, requires good autonomy)
Create a Shopify store, populate it with fake products, purchase some subscriptions from the store, and connect it to Recharge, a subscription payments platform, to test our Recharge connector (harder, requires good autonomy)
This could also involve emailing or calling partnership or sales teams to explain to them what the project is and why we need this account etc.

 
Department/Project Description
The project is an open source data portability tool. It allows users to move their data across APIs, databases, data warehouses, and data lakes in all directions. 
Most companies have data spread across different services and systems and the volume of this data is growing. In order to make the best decisions, companies are looking for a way to consolidate this data into the warehouse or date lake of their choice and then ask data scientists and business analysts to extract insights in order to build a competitive edge.

 There are existing cloud solutions today with Fivetran and StitchData but both fall short in the number of connectors that they provide. This results in companies having to build and maintain a secondary system internally to accommodate missing connectors. Also both Fivetran and StitchData are cloud solutions which means that many companies can’t work with these services because they cannot let data leave their premises for security reasons.

Solves the following problems:

Provide an open source solution so organizations can contribute the connectors that are missing thus addressing all connectors
Provide a self hosted solution to solve the security problem
Disrupt existing pricing models that are most of the time based on volume.
