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:

We’re looking for a talented Engineering Manager with a passion for building enterprise-grade software to join the engineering leadership team. You will focus on developing world-class enterprise capabilities and features in support of our largest and most sophisticated customers. The work we do is both highly visible and critically important to Fivetran's long-term growth and success. You will impact the entire product as we develop our next generation of enterprise, data governance, trust, security, and solutions engineering offerings.

Enterprise is the newest group within Fivetran Engineering that you will have an integral role in shaping. As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a full-stack team of engineers and coordinate with other stakeholders at the company, including product management, support engineers, and sales engineers. You will own your team's entire software development lifecycle, delivering capabilities critical to making our largest enterprise customers successful. You will take full responsibility for the quality, efficiency, and reliability of your focus areas, and you will build and maintain a team that reliably delivers excellent results while maintaining a culture of engagement, fairness, and continuous improvement. 

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 create and iterate on the system while it’s in production. 

This is a full-time position based out of our Novi Sad office.

  • Foster an atmosphere of continuous improvement as a coach, mentor, and technical advisor to your team
  • Review and approve technical design documents and pull requests.
  • Mentor other members of the team and assist with their challenges.
  • Care for and take ownership of our product platform, and leverage your skills to improve code quality.
  • Work across the project lifecycle: requirements, design, prototype, implementation, review, release, and monitoring.

Skills We’re Looking For:

  • Strong track record as a software engineer delivering high-impact software, with engineering manager or team lead experience.
  • Strong leadership skills and a proven ability to motivate teams to produce high-quality software
  • Aptitude in decision-making and problem-solving
  • Demonstrated competency in development processes with project and program leadership

  • 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.
  • Knowledge of IBM DB2 (LUW, iSeries or z/OS) or SYBASE is a strong plus.
  • Knowledge of DBMS internals, such as the transaction logging system, is a strong plus. Diving into the nitty-gritty innards of database systems does not scare you.
