We are proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.\r\nFivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our core team and perform a healthy mix of design and implementation tasks to advance the technical foundation behind the Fivetran product offering.\r\nThis team is tasked with evolving a high performance extract-load-transform data integration system that enables our engineering teams to correctly implement hundreds of data connectors with minimal maintenance effort. The role will challenge you to reason about relational semantics, powerful abstractions, data representation, and software performance. You don't need to be a subject matter expert before you join us (you will be one before you leave!), but you will need to have experience working carefully with a high impact software team especially in environments where the best option may not be obvious, your decisions have cascading implications, and where you sometimes need to measure twice before you cut once. A successful candidate will be humble enough to collect diverse input and build consensus, will be experienced and confident enough to be decisive when its needed, and will be practical enough to build and iterate on the system while its in production.
