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.

We’re looking for a talented Senior Full Stack Engineer with a passion for building enterprise grade software to join the team. You will be focusing on developing world‑class enterprise capabilities and features in support of our largest and most sophisticated customers.

You will have an impact across the entire product as we develop our next generation of enterprise, data governance, and solutions engineering offerings.

This team is tasked with evolving a high performance extract‑load‑transform data integration system that enables our connector teams to ship the Fivetran ELT product using powerful abstractions.

This is a full‑time, hybrid position based out of our Oakland, CA office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in‑person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.
