## About the role

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, we’re 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.

- Expertise in at least one interpreted language such as Python, Ruby on Rails, etc
- Hands-on experience with at least one compiled language such as C++, Kotlin, Scala, Go, Java, etc
- Solid understanding of relational databases (experience with data warehousing solutions (e.g., Snowflake) is a bonus)
- Proven experience in system integration, including API consumption and development (experience with infrastructure management is a bonus)
- Familiarity with leading cloud providers, such as GCP, AWS, or Azure
- Experience being on-call
