Job Description

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 the Role

At Fivetran, we're revolutionizing how companies access their data by building the most reliable and efficient data pipelines in the industry. To accelerate our mission, we are seeking a foremost authority on databases to join our presales organization.

This is a pivotal, strategic role for a deep database expert who thrives on solving the most complex data replication challenges.

Your influence will extend directly to our Product and Engineering leadership, where you'll champion customer needs and shape the future of Fivetran’s database replication capabilities.

This is a full-time position based remotely in the US.

Technologies You’ll Use
