Who you are

You have significant experience in C programming, ideally with a focus on high-performance systems. You understand relational semantics and have a strong grasp of software performance optimization — your background includes working on complex software projects where your decisions had cascading implications. You are comfortable collaborating with diverse teams and can build consensus while also being decisive when necessary. You thrive in environments where you need to measure twice before cutting once, ensuring that your contributions are impactful and reliable.

You are eager to learn and grow, and you don't need to be a subject matter expert before joining Fivetran — your curiosity and willingness to dive deep into the technical aspects of data integration will help you become one. You value humility and are open to collecting diverse input from your peers, which enhances your decision-making process. Your experience in high-impact software teams has equipped you with the skills to navigate challenging technical landscapes effectively.

What you'll do

As a Senior C Programmer at Fivetran, you will be responsible for designing and implementing components of our data integration system. Your role will involve evolving a high-performance extract-load-transform (ELT) system that supports hundreds of data connectors with minimal maintenance effort. You will collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure that the technical foundation of our product is robust and scalable. Your work will directly contribute to making data access as simple and reliable as electricity for our customers.

You will engage in a mix of design and implementation tasks, requiring you to think critically about data representation and software performance. Your contributions will help shape the future of our data pipelines, enabling organizations to leverage their data effectively. You will also have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers, sharing your expertise and fostering a culture of learning within the team.
