Senior Site Reliability 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 Us

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. 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, we’re building on the strengths of both companies

while continuing to deliver the products and experiences our customers know and

trust. It’s an exciting time to join us: we’re 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.
