Fivetran is looking to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity by building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies, and this role is intended to help solve the problem of keeping customer data flowing smoothly and on time.
Requirements
- Expertise in at least one interpreted language such as Python, Ruby on Rails, etc.
- Expertise in at least one compiled language such as C++, Kotlin, Scala, Go, Java, etc.
- Solid understanding of relational databases (experience with data warehousing solutions (e.g., Snowflake) is a bonus)
- Proven experience in system integration, including API consumption and development (experience with infrastructure management is a bonus)
- Familiarity with leading cloud providers, such as GCP, AWS, or Azure
- Experience being on-call
- Experience with Terraform, Spark, Temporal, and Parquet
Responsibilities
- Make valuable contributions to the deepest recesses of our tech stack – including writing typesafe Ruby and Rails with Sorbet, building performant Kotlin microservices, managing highly available Spark clusters, working on deterministic Temporal workflows, and Terraforming all the things in AWS.
- Think in Parquet, live in cloud storage, and have data flowing through your veins.
- Operate in hostile territory on all sides–building and managing a data diffing ETL engine that operates across every type of data warehouse and SQL dialect imaginable on data you don't own or control, and send it to countless permutations of destinations that could respond any number of unpredictable ways.
- Be a reliable and steadfast operator, participating in the team on-call rotation to help diagnose, triage and fix performance bottlenecks and gnarly edge-cases our customers discover.
- Work closely with our product team to help design and develop new features to improve data pipeline observability and debuggability, putting you on a first name basis with the data teams of many companies you have come to love and respect.
- Design and implement projects like our recent Sync Tracking overhaul - enabling us to capture, store, and process huge datasets, giving customers complete visibility into what data is flowing through our pipes; providing the capability to verify that every record is getting where it needs to go.
- Manage a constantly scaling and resizing fleet of machines to handle the dynamic needs of our customers
Other
- Experience being on-call, driving system quality higher, managing costs and constantly recognizing areas to simplify while always improving composability
- Thrives in a high-trust environment, driving projects forward and making independent decisions with confidence
- Comfortably navigates ambiguity and views challenges as opportunities for growth
- Maintains a strong focus on goals, confidently overcoming obstacles and eagerly seeking innovative solutions to exceed expectations
- 100% employer-paid medical insurance, generous paid time-off policy, RSU stock grants, and professional development opportunities
