Engineering Manager, Automations & Internal Tooling

Novi Sad, South Baka, Serbia, EMEA

Position Title: Engineering Manager, Automations & Internal Tooling

From Fivetrans 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. Were proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

Fivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data.

Together, were delivering the data infrastructure layer that helps organizations move, transform, and trust their data from the moment data moves, through every transformation, to the context teams and AI systems rely on.

Fivetran helps organizations automate data movement across the systems, clouds, engines, and tools they rely on. dbt Labs pioneered analytics engineering, helping teams transform data into reliable, governed insights. Together, we support thousands of organizations as they build a trusted foundation for analytics, AI, and better business decisions.

As we bring our teams and technology together, were building on the strengths of both companies while continuing to deliver the products and experiences our customers know and trust. Its an exciting time to join us: were creating a company with the scale, talent, and technology to help more organizations put their data to work with greater speed, confidence, and impact.

During this transition period, you may see references to both Fivetran and dbt Labs throughout our recruiting process as we integrate our teams, systems, and career sites.

Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Automations team, a growing engineering team focused on building internal automations, tools, and systems that make Fivetran engineers more productive and effective.

The team operates at the intersection of software engineering, developer productivity, and automation. It identifies repetitive or inefficient workflows, builds solutions to improve them, and develops internal tools used across Engineering and other parts of Fivetran. The work can range from small, high-leverage automations to larger internal platforms and services.

As the Engineering Manager, you'll lead and develop the team while helping define Fivetran's strategy for internal automation and engineering tooling. You'll work closely with engineers and stakeholders across the company to identify opportunities, prioritize investments, and turn ideas into reliable, scalable solutions.

This is a technical leadership role. You'll be expected to understand the architecture and implementation of the systems your team owns, participate in technical and architectural decisions, and help maintain a high engineering bar. If you enjoy staying hands-on, you'll also have the flexibility to contribute directly to design, code, prototypes, and tooling where it creates the most value.

You'll join a fast-moving and growing team with significant opportunity to shape how it operates, what it builds, and how automation is used across Fivetran.

This is a full-time position based out of our Novi Sad office in Serbia.
