Senior Software Engineer

Position Title: Senior Software Engineer

From Fivetran 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.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer for the Cloud Data Warehouse database connector team and supporting other database teams to drive improved performance, reliability, and analytical power for our platform to delight our customers in how they use their data.

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. The role will challenge you to solve problems in the domains of performance engineering, data security, and cluster orchestration. You don’t need to be a subject matter expert before you join us (you will become one within this role!),

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 three times 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 it’s needed, and will be practical enough to build and iterate on the system while it’s in production. We are also looking for a high level of expertise and productivity with modern software development environments (we use Java).

We’re looking for people who can understand the key values that make our product great and implement those values in the many small decisions you make every day as one of our most senior engineers.

This is a full‑time position based out of our Bangalore 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.
