Fivetran
About this role
Fivetran automates data movement, pulling customer data into warehouses ready to query without the customer maintaining pipelines. Worth knowing before you apply: Fivetran and dbt Labs are merging, and the posting says you may see both names during recruiting. This is a senior SDET role owning the test automation framework, written in Java with JUnit5, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Terraform, WireMock, RestAssured, Bazel and BuildKite. The interesting part is the distributed systems angle: the posting wants someone who understands schema drift, idempotency failures, data inconsistency and race conditions, which is a long way from click through QA. There is also a real AI component, building LLM tooling to triage failures and detect flaky tests. Bangalore, two days a week in office.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for:
- 5+ years in the software industry with a strong focus on quality, automation and engineering excellence.
- Deep understanding of object oriented principles and strong Java proficiency.
- Expertise designing scalable automation frameworks and identifying negative, edge and high risk scenarios.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems failure modes: schema drift, idempotency failures, data inconsistencies and race conditions.
- Hands on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containers (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, CircleCI or Buildkite.
- Experience with backend automation frameworks.
- Demonstrated ability to use AI and LLM tooling to accelerate development, debugging and test design.
Strong plus: database testing and ETL or data pipeline validation.
Technologies named: Java 11, JUnit5, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Terraform, WireMock, RestAssured, Bazel, BuildKite.
Day to day: designing and evolving Java automation frameworks with an emphasis on reliability and data correctness, writing test strategies for complex features, hardening CI/CD so silent failures and regressions get caught, and building internal AI tooling that speeds up debugging, generates test scenarios, spots flaky patterns and improves log analysis. You would also coach other quality engineers.
Location and office reality: Bangalore, full time, hybrid with two days a week in the office. That is stated in the posting and is lighter than most roles in this edition.
Honest fit guidance: this is an engineering role that happens to sit in test. If your background is manual testing without strong Java and distributed systems knowledge, the requirement list will not bend for you. Company context: read up on the dbt Labs merger before interviewing, since the org is mid integration.
