Senior Software Engineer
From our founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, your data just arrives in your warehouse, canonical and ready to query, no engineering or maintenance required. As we watch more and more companies leverage our technology to become truly data-driven, we’re proud not only of our growth but also of the fact that we’ve grown without compromising our core values.
Integrity.
We do the right thing, even when it's harder in the short run. We challenge the status quo by reasoning from first principles.
Initiative.
Fivetran belongs to all of us. We take ownership and are accountable for getting things done. Through curiosity, learning, and coaching, we grow as individuals and teams.

We share the pains and successes of our customers, partners and colleagues. We seek, gather, and trust a diverse group of teammates with different perspectives to guide Fivetran's progress.
If these values resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you.
To keep up with the modern demands of complex and multi-terabyte pipeline workloads on our petabyte scale platform it is imperative for Fivetran to maintain a focus on performance in order to continually improve our connector throughput and stability. Fivetran is looking for an enthusiastic performance minded and focused Senior Software Engineer that will work to scale our data pipelines to seamlessly support large and rapidly changing Enterprise data sets.
As an engineer at Fivetran, you will work to measure pipeline throughput, identify performance bottlenecks, propose data driven solutions, and work hands-on across engineering to implement enhancements. Through doing this, you’ll be a key contributor in guaranteeing that we are delivering world class features for our data pipeline service, help improve our software architecture, and maintain reliable operation of the service. We're looking for engineers who want to learn the key values that make our product great, and implement those values in the many small decisions you make every day as a developer.
