Company mission
Fivetran's mission is to solve the hardest part of building a data-driven company: centralising all your data in one place.
Role
Who you are
- Mastery of advanced SQL in a modern data warehouse environment (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, etc)
- Applied knowledge of a scripting language, preferably Python, in a data engineering context
- A deep understanding of ERDs, DAGs, and ETL/ELT
- An informed, opinionated stance on SQL style, normalization, Kimball, etc
- Experience with CI/CD implementations for the modern data stack
- You want to solve problems the RIGHT way, and you can clearly articulate why to a technical audience
Desirable
- Experience scaling an ETL or other analytics codebase across several years and 10+ collaborators
- Past experience with data warehouse migrations
- Experience with access control and data governance in Snowflake
What the job involves
- Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies
- We believe that in the future, with the work of writing and maintaining ELT pipelines offloaded to Fivetran, the role of a data engineer opens up into a wider problem space focused on performance, reliability, and making data teams and data consumers more efficient
- Fivetran’s internal Analytics team are happy Fivetran customers, and we are looking for an experienced data engineer who is ready to step into that future with us
- This person will be the standard-bearer for data quality and efficiency on a high-performance, industry-leading Analytics team
- Responsibilities include transformation layer optimization, data observability monitoring and response, and the selection, implementation and maintenance of all the tools and systems used across the department
- You’ll also be responsible for ensuring the technical excellence of your team by reviewing code, contributing to architectural designs, and enabling and mentoring your junior colleagues
- Ensure that our analytics warehouse and codebase is designed to support our growing enterprise business reliably, accurately and affordably
- Work closely with our fantastic Data Analysts, bringing an informed, opinionated viewpoint to frameworks; patterns and anti-patterns; templates; and code reviews in order to elevate code quality teamwide
- Identify opportunities for refactoring existing code; implement the refactoring; and lay the guardrails for fewer refactors in the future
- Assess new tools and technologies to support Fivetran Analytics, and lead the implementation and rollout of those tools
- Optimize our transformation layer for efficient and effective delivery of business intelligence to stakeholders throughout the organization
- Take end-to-end ownership of data product delivery, from design through implementation
- Technologies You’ll Use:
- Snowflake, GCP, BigQuery, SQLMesh, dbt, Looker, Sigma... and of course, Fivetran!
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.
