About the Role

Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.

We are looking for a Software Engineer enthusiastic to join our fast-growing company. 

As a part of the Oracle Connector Team, you will be responsible to help build new features of our data pipeline service, help improve our software architecture, and maintain reliable operation of the service. We're looking for someone who wants to learn and apply the key values that make our product great, dive deep into complex investigations into data replication and build a world class ELT solution for Oracle systems.

Fivetran is the epitome of data-driven-development — our engineering team is focused on building a world class product that:

- Facilitates Data Analytics — join our mission to reliably deliver best-in class schemas, and clean data, designed to be intuitively useful to analysts.
- Contributes to our Community — help develop tools like Data Lakes, SQL-based Transformations, and schema explorers to empower analysts to choose the best tools, and to make those tools more powerful.
- Is Absolutely Dependable — work to make Fivetran the most reliable and secure component of our customers’ data infrastructure.

We emphasize using no-nonsense tools, and take great pride in the simplicity and effectiveness of the systems we build. Our back-end is built on Java, C, Postgres, and Kubernetes, and our front-end is built on React and Typescript.

This is a full-time position based out of our Novi Sad office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.
