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.\nAbout Us\nFivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data.\nTogether, 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.\nFivetran 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.\nAs 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.\nDuring 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.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking for a Staff 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.\nCloud Signals owns:\nBilling and usage metering: turning product activity into accurate, auditable usage and billing data, and leading the integration of Fivetran and dbt billing into one consolidated system.\nVortex, our telemetry and event pipeline: high-volume event ingestion that feeds the warehouse, product analytics, and downstream systems.\n The Notification System: the shared service that sends transactional and product notifications (email, in-app, Slack) for teams across the platform.\nUsage and admin reporting: giving customers clear visibility into consumption as we move toward consumption-based pricing.\nThese systems are on the critical path for revenue and customer trust. As a Staff engineer you’ll set technical direction across them, take on the hardest cross-team problems, and help raise the bar for engineering across the area.\nThis is a full-time remote position.\nTechnologies You’ll Use\nPython and TypeScript for backend services and APIs (Rust, Go, or Java experience also welcome)\nRelational databases (PostgreSQL) and cloud data warehouses (Snowflake)\nEvent streaming and messaging systems (Kafka or similar) for high-throughput telemetry and usage pipelines\nAWS (plus exposure to GCP or Azure), Docker, and Kubernetes\nTerraform for infrastructure as code\nDatadog for observability, alerting, and on-call\nThird-party billing and payment platforms, plus internal and public REST APIs\nAI coding assistants and agents (e.g., Claude Code) as part of everyday development\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn the technical direction for Cloud Signals’ systems: set architecture, write and socialize design docs, and turn ambiguous business goals (consolidated billing, consumption pricing, telemetry expansion) into clear, staged technical plans.\nLead the design and delivery of the Fivetran + dbt billing integration: data models, usage pipelines, reconciliation, and migration strategy, so that every customer is billed correctly and on time.\nEvolve Vortex into a reliable, cost-efficient, scalable event platform: onboard new event types, cut operational dependencies and cost, and make sure data lands in the warehouse correctly and observably.\nGrow the Notification System into a dependable shared service that other teams can adopt easily.\nWork closely with Product, Finance, RevOps, Data, and partner engineering teams across both companies, often filling gaps in specs and prototyping to test ideas before you commit to a direction.\nRaise operational excellence: define SLOs, improve alerting and runbooks, take part in on-call, and lead incident response and blameless postmortems for business-critical systems.\nMentor engineers at every level, give thoughtful code and design reviews, and set an example for engineering practices, including effective, responsible use of AI tools in the SDLC.\nWork across teams, departments, and time zones as a technical partner to engineering leadership on roadmap, staffing, and build-vs-buy decisions.\nSkills We’re Looking For\n8+ years building and operating production software, with a track record of technical leadership on large, cross-team projects\nDeep experience designing distributed systems and backend services, with a strong focus on correctness, idempotency, and data integrity\nHands-on experience with event-driven architectures and streaming or messaging systems (e.g., Kafka) at high volume\nStrong knowledge of relational databases and data modeling, plus experience with cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake\nProven ability to design, build, and consume APIs and integrate with third-party systems\nProduction experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred), containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform)\nA strong operational mindset: observability (Datadog or similar), SLOs, on-call, incident management, and leading systems through migrations without downtime\nThe ability to spot design flaws in existing systems and lead incremental improvements while still shipping\nExcellent written and verbal communication: you write clear design docs, align stakeholders with different priorities, and explain technical trade-offs to non-technical partners\nFluency with AI code assistants and coding agents for building features, fixing bugs, testing, and investigation, and with conversational AI (Claude, ChatGPT, internal chatbots) for researching, writing, and reviewing SDLC artifacts like TDDs, PRDs, postmortems, test plans, and proposals\nBonus Skills\nExperience with billing, metering, or usage-based pricing systems (e.g., Metronome, Stripe, or in-house rating and invoicing)\nExperience building telemetry or analytics pipelines (e.g., Snowplow, Iceberg, lakehouse architectures)\nExperience building notification or messaging platforms (email, in-app, webhooks) at scale\nExperience with data processing (ETL/ELT), dbt, or other modern data stack tools\nExperience leading platform consolidation or system integration after a merger or acquisition\nPerks and Benefits\n100% employer-paid medical insurance*\nGenerous paid time away from work, including paid vacation or flexible/unlimited vacation depending on role and country, plus paid sick time, inclusive parental leave, paid holidays, including a year-end Global Week of Rest, and volunteer days off.\nRSU stock grants*\nProfessional development and training opportunities\nCompany virtual happy hours, free food, and fun team-building activities\nMonthly cell phone stipend\nAccess to an innovative mental health support platform that offers personalized
