- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills to address security challenges, coupled with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with engineering teams in enhancing security measures and mitigating vulnerabilities in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a high-performance, experienced hands-on technical program manager (TPM) in the security domain to be part of an Engineering team
- In this role, you will be responsible for leading and managing security-related initiatives across the organization
- It involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the successful planning, execution, and delivery of security programs

- Establish and lead a code scanning program in collaboration with infrastructure, engineering, and security teams to ensure seamless integration and sustainable security practices
- Dedicate up to 20% of the time to assessing business systems to identify vulnerabilities and compliance gaps proactively. Develop a scanning and detection plan, establishing policies and standards for internal data access tools to improve overall system security
- Advocate for tools and solutions that support shift-left strategies, driving early integration of security and testing in the development lifecycle
Our take
After a few slower years since graduating from Y Combinator in 2013, Fivetran has skyrocketed, consistently raising large sums of funding, including an Andreessen Horowitz-backed $565m Series D round in 2021.
Customers are mostly data analysts at companies with inefficient database schema, who suffer from a high risk of project failures. Fivetran offers rapid integration of complex data services into cloud warehouses, tagging onto the trend towards cloud-based data systems.
By developing and continuously improving cloud applications that adapt to changing APIs and data schemas, Fivetran is attracting customers who seek long-term data viability. Fivetran also benefits from being easy to set up and integrate into a client's existing software.
After acquiring HVR, a data integration competitor, and Teleport Data, Fivetran continues to add functionality and customers via acquisition. A round of funding in 2023 paved the way for expansion into European and Asian markets.
