Staff Software Development Engineer in Test at Fivetran building test automation infrastructure and quality strategies for data pipeline platforms. Focus on scaling automation utilities, internal tools, and cross-org quality initiatives with emphasis on AI-driven testing solutions.
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
Fivetran is building data pipelines to power the modern data stack for thousands of companies. As we grow, so does the need for high-confidence delivery, platform resilience, and automation that scales with product complexity.
As a Staff SDET, you’ll lead from the front– owning shared automation infrastructure, influencing release quality strategy, and driving initiatives that span teams and systems. This role sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering, architectural leadership, and org-wide quality influence.
You will architect and scale automation utilities/libraries, design and build internal tools that improve developer productivity and test efficiency, and establish testing strategies that ensure high-confidence releases across business-critical systems. You will work cross-functionally across teams and domains to influence quality culture, mentor engineers, and drive initiatives that shape how Fivetran builds and ships software. In addition, this role emphasizes leveraging AI driven solutions to accelerate testing, enhance developer productivity, and improve operational insights, making Fivetran’s quality practices smarter, faster, and more scalable.
This role requires deep technical expertise, architectural foresight, and the ability to scale impact beyond code through systems thinking, tool building, and strategic alignment.
