Senior Full Stack 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. About the Role We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join Cloud Signals , the team behind the systems that measure, bill, and talk to our customers across the dbt platform and, more and more, the combined Fivetran + dbt product. Cloud Signals owns: Billing and usage metering: turning product activity into accurate, auditable usage and billing data, including the integration of Fivetran and dbt billing into one consolidated system. Vortex, our telemetry and event pipeline: high-volume event ingestion that feeds the warehouse, product analytics, and downstream systems. The Notification System: the shared service that sends transactional and product notifications (email, in-app, Slack) for teams across the platform. Usage and admin reporting: giving customers clear visibility into consumption as we move toward consumption-based pricing. As a Senior engineer you’ll own major features and components of these systems from design to production. You’ll be a go-to technical voice on the team and help shape how we build.

Help deliver the Fivetran + dbt billing integration, with a focus on correct usage data, reliable pipelines, and smooth migrations. Improve Vortex and the Notification System by onboarding new event types and use cases, making them more reliable, and lowering cost.
