Role

Who you are

  • Fivetran is seeking a highly skilled Staff Software Engineer who is eager to tackle various technical challenges in a dynamic startup environment
  • We are looking for someone who thrives in solving complex and sometimes ambiguous problems using the latest technologies
  • Extensive experience in software engineering, particularly in developing distributed systems
  • Strong proficiency in Java and performance tuning
  • Proven ability to lead and manage multiple projects, ensuring high-quality and timely delivery
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with a passion for tackling challenging and ambiguous technical problems
  • Experience in mentoring and guiding junior engineers, fostering a collaborative and supportive team environment
  • Strong communication skills, capable of effectively interacting with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Desirable

  • Have deep understanding about Postgres internal or being a Postgres contributor

What the job involves

  • This role is pivotal, as it involves making significant contributions to one of our most critical database connectors
  • In this role, you'll have the chance to wear multiple hats and engage in different tasks to deliver high-quality solutions
  • You'll work alongside a team of experienced and passionate engineers, providing ample opportunities for learning and growth
  • Design, Develop, and Debug: Lead the design, development, and debugging of software for distributed systems, ensuring robust and scalable solutions
  • Project Leadership: Manage and lead multiple projects simultaneously, coordinating with different stakeholders to ensure timely and quality delivery in an iterative development environment
  • Mentorship and Collaboration: Serve as a leading contributor, both individually and as a team member, offering direction and mentorship to other engineers
  • Quality Assurance: Maintain high standards for code quality, performance, and reliability, conducting thorough testing and reviews
  • Innovation and Improvement: Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends, advocating for the adoption of new tools and methodologies to improve the development process

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.
