To make access to data s simple and reliable as electricity.
Role
Who you are
- Experience in both C and Java
- Experience in Relational Databases, SQL language, and DBMS call-level interfaces (e.g. ODBC or Oracle OCI)
- Experience with data replication, ETL/ELT tools, cloud and software-defined infrastructure tools (AWS Cloud Formation, Kubernetes, Docker), API technologies and analytics is a plus
- You know how to design and code systems and software that is effective, intuitive, easy to operate, and elegantly simple
- You know complex structures, object orientation, exceptions, and memory management techniques
- You are adaptable and have the willingness to learn new skills while being flexible to work within new environments
Desirable
- Knowledge of IBM DB2 (LUW, iSeries or z/OS) or SYBASE is a strong plus
- A strong plus is knowledge of DBMS internals, such as the transaction logging system. Diving into the nitty-gritty innards of database systems does not scare you
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our core platform team and perform a healthy mix of design and implementation tasks to advance the technical foundation behind the Fivetran product offering
- As an engineer in the Database Group, focusing on capturing data from relational databases, you will contribute to the entire software development lifecycle for the capabilities critical to making our largest enterprise customers successful
- You will collaborate with engineers across the engineering organisation as we identify opportunities for product improvements
- You will be responsible for ensuring the technical excellence of your team and own services by reviewing code and contributing to architectural designs
- Write and test code
- Create technical specifications
- Review and approve technical design documents and pull requests
- Mentor other members of the team and assist with their challenges
- Care and take ownership of our product platform, and leverage your skills towards improving code quality by identifying issues, testing, and maintaining the code
- Collaborate with a small but mighty core team and a broader set of stakeholders
- Work across the project lifecycle: requirements, design, prototype, implementation, review, release, and monitoring
- A successful candidate will be humble enough to collect diverse input and build consensus, experienced and confident enough to be decisive when needed, and practical enough to build and iterate on the system while it’s in production
Our take
Fivetran is a data integration company focused on one simple idea: making data easy to move and use. It provides a fully managed platform that automatically moves data from hundreds of sources into cloud destinations, helping team centralize information without building or maintaining complex pipelines. So, by handling the heavy lifting behind the scenes, Fivetran allows organizations to spend less time managing infrastructure and more time working on their data.
This approach has a real and growing impact, with more than 700 fully managed connectors, Fivetran supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments and keeps data accurate and secure as it flows into analytics and AI systems. Trusted by over 7,600 customers worldwide, the platform helps businesses standardize how data is collected and shared across teams, breaking down silos and making insights more accessible. And the result is a stronger data foundation that supports faster decision-making and innovation.
In 2025, the company's momentum was also recognized with a Microsoft Marketplace Partner of the Year Award and a finalist spot for Microsoft's Americas Emerging Partner of the Year. These milestones reflect its role in helping enterprises modernize data infrastructure on Microsoft Azure and prepare for AI-driven workloads. By continuing to deepen its partnerships and focus on reliable, automated data movement, Fivetran is well positioned to carry this success forward as organizations increasingly rely on data s the backbone of future intelligence.
