Senior Software Engineer

From Fivetran’s founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

About the Role

Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.

The role will challenge you to design, implement and improve CI/CD pipelines used by hundreds of engineers on a daily basis. You’ll also work on  tools and automations that will help to improve or completely replace existing manual processes, reducing daily routine and improving performance of engineers around you. You don’t necessarily need to be a CI/CD expert before you join us, but you will need to have experience working with a diverse set of technologies, an agile mindset allowing you to easily adapt to any new technology and apply it to a task from a domain or area that you weren’t familiar with before.
