About the job

Since its inception, Fivetran has been dedicated to making data access as seamless and dependable as electricity. With our solution, client data flows effortlessly into their data warehouses, organized and ready for analysis, without the need for extensive engineering or ongoing maintenance. Our technology empowers organizations to become genuinely data-driven every day.

About the Role

Fivetran is at the forefront of building data pipelines to enhance the modern data stack for countless companies.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our dynamic core team, engaging in a balanced blend of design and implementation activities to strengthen the technical backbone of our product offerings.

Your responsibilities will involve advancing a high-performance extract-load-transform data integration system that allows our engineering teams to efficiently develop hundreds of data connectors with minimal maintenance. This role will require you to think critically about relational semantics, advanced abstractions, data representation, and software performance. While you don’t need to be an expert upon joining, we expect you to have experience working effectively within a high-impact software team, particularly in environments where optimal solutions are not immediately clear, and your decisions carry significant consequences. A successful candidate will exhibit humility in gathering diverse opinions and fostering consensus while also being decisive when necessary, balancing system development and iteration while it’s live. We also value proficiency in both modern and legacy software development environments.

This is a full-time role based in our Dublin office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, requiring two days in the office each week to foster teamwork and connections.

Technologies You’ll Use

  • C (our primary programming language), Python (for testing), relational databases (Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server), make
  • GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Jenkins, GCP, Azure, AWS
  • macOS/Linux/Unix/Windows, git

What You’ll Do

  • Gain in-depth knowledge of Fivetran to guide development towards practical and impactful system enhancements
  • Contribute to our roadmap development and planning
  • Collaborate closely with a compact yet powerful core team and a wider array of stakeholders
  • Engage throughout the project lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, and testing
