- Strong software development and scripting skills (Python, Go, Bash, HCL)
- Solid understanding of security best practices across the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a highly motivated and skilled Senior Staff Platform Security Engineer to join our Security team
- This individual contributor (IC) role is hands-on and execution-focused, requiring expertise in application security, cloud security, and DevSecOps
- You will work closely with engineering teams to integrate security into the development lifecycle, automate security processes, and ensure resilience against emerging threats
- Architect and implement security solutions that protect cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure
- Partner with engineering teams to integrate security tooling into the SDLC, enabling seamless DevSecOps adoption
- Conduct security architecture reviews, threat modeling, and risk assessments to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities
- Automate security processes by developing integrations and security checks for machine configurations, container images, IAM policies, firewall rules, and cloud storage policies
- Perform security design reviews for enterprise applications, ensuring compliance with security best practices and industry standards
- Apply and enhance security assessment tools and processes, including penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, SIEM, DLP, and EDR
- Lead threat modeling efforts to operationalize and automate security across system and software development lifecycles

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.
