Senior Data 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.
We believe that in the future, with the work of writing and maintaining ELT pipelines offloaded to Fivetran, the role of a data engineer opens up into a wider problem space focused on performance, reliability, and making data teams and data consumers more efficient. Fivetran’s internal Analytics team are happy Fivetran customers, and we are looking for an experienced data engineer who is ready to step into that future with us.
This person will be the standard-bearer for data quality and efficiency on a high-performance, industry-leading Analytics team. Responsibilities include transformation layer optimization, data observability monitoring and response, and the selection, implementation and maintenance of all the tools and systems used across the department. You’ll also be responsible for ensuring the technical excellence of your team by reviewing code, contributing to architectural designs, and enabling and mentoring your junior colleagues.
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.

- Assess new tools and technologies to support Fivetran Analytics, and lead the implementation and rollout of those tools
- Optimize our transformation layer for efficient and effective delivery of business intelligence to stakeholders throughout the organization
- Take end-to-end ownership of data product delivery, from design through implementation

- Applied knowledge of a scripting language, preferably Python, in a data engineering context
- A deep understanding of ERDs, DAGs, and ETL/ELT
