Senior Software Engineer
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.

About the Role
Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our database team and perform a healthy mix of design and implementation tasks to advance the technical foundation behind the Fivetran product offering.
As an engineer in the Database Group, focusing on capturing data from relational databases, you will contribute to the entire software development lifecycle for the capabilities critical to making our largest enterprise customers successful. You will collaborate with engineers across the engineering organisation as we identify opportunities for product improvements. You will be responsible for ensuring the technical excellence of your team and own services by reviewing code and contributing to architectural designs.
A successful candidate will be humble enough to collect diverse input and build consensus, experienced and confident enough to be decisive when needed, and practical enough to build and iterate on the system while it’s in production.
This is a full-time position based out of our Novi Sad office.
Technologies You’ll Use
C, IBM DB2 (LUW, iSeries or z/OS), AWS.
What You’ll Do
Write and test code.
Create technical specifications.
Review and approve technical design documents and pull requests.
Mentor other members of the team and assist with their challenges.
Care and take ownership of our product platform, and leverage your skills towards improving code quality by identifying issues, testing, and maintaining the code.
Collaborate with a small but mighty core team and a broader set of stakeholders.
Work across the project lifecycle: requirements, design, prototype, implementation, review, release, and monitoring.
Skills We’re Looking For
Experience in both C and C++
Experience in Relational Databases, SQL language, and DBMS call-level interfaces (e.g. ODBC or Oracle OCI).
Experience with data replication, ETL/ELT tools, cloud and software-defined infrastructure tools (AWS Cloud Formation, Kubernetes, Docker), API technologies and analytics is a plus.
You know how to design and code systems and software that is effective, intuitive, easy to operate, and elegantly simple.
You know complex structures, object orientation, exceptions, and memory management techniques.
You are adaptable and have the willingness to learn new skills while being flexible to work within new environments.
Bonus Skills
Knowledge of IBM DB2 (LUW, iSeries or z/OS) is a strong plus.
A strong plus is knowledge of DBMS internals, such as the transaction logging system. Diving into the nitty-gritty innards of database systems does not scare you.
