Senior Platform Software Engineer, Transport

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. During 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.

As a Senior Platform Software Engineer, you'll have an outsized impact on every dbt Labs customer, tackling complex distributed systems problems while collaborating across product engineering, security, and infrastructure teams. This is a hands-on role where whatever you work on touches all of dbt Cloud and all of our customers at the same time.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Join a senior, distributed team: Become part of a closely-knit group of senior engineers at the intersection of application and infrastructure, working asynchronously with ongoing communication in public Slack channels.
• Architect and build platform infrastructure: Design, build, and operate foundational components of our multi-cell platform, including service routing, cloud networking, and the control plane for managing account lifecycles.
• Drive seamless migrations: Develop and automate the tooling to migrate customer accounts from legacy environments to the new multi-cell architecture at scale.
• Develop scalable backend services: Write robust, high-quality backend services and infrastructure code, primarily in Go and Python, with opportunities to work with Rust.
• Tackle cloud networking challenges: Collaborate on network architecture design, including VPC management, load balancing, DNS, PrivateLink, and service mesh configurations to support single-tenant and multi-tenant deployments.
• Automate for scale: Design and implement automation using tools like Argo Workflows, Kubernetes, and Terraform to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of our platform.
