Senior Software Engineer | Infrastructure, dbt Platform

Fivetran acquired dbt Labs, and this infrastructure role builds the platform that runs the dbt product across AWS, Azure and GCP. The team's stated mission is a stable, observable and easy to use infrastructure platform, and the posting says that over the past year it designed and operationalised a next generation cell based architecture spanning all three clouds. The current focus is automation, self service and improving developer velocity through better tooling, process and infrastructure design. Cell based architecture is a meaningful detail, since it implies real thinking about blast radius and tenant isolation rather than one large shared environment. The posting publishes no years figure anywhere, so we have left that field blank rather than guess, and it will not show under any experience filter.

Fivetran publishes no experience figure anywhere in this posting. We have written the field blank rather than invent one, which means this listing appears in no experience band on the page. The Senior title is the only seniority signal, so ask for the expected range in the first conversation. What the role covers: an infrastructure engineer with GCP, Azure or AWS expertise to help build a reliable platform for the dbt product across all three clouds. The team mission as published is creating a seamless developer experience by providing stable, observable and easy to use infrastructure. Recent context the posting supplies: over the past year the team designed and operationalised a next generation cell based architecture, scaling the dbt platform across all three cloud providers, and the current focus is automation, self service and improving developer velocity through better tooling, processes and infrastructure design. Why the cell based detail matters technically: cell architectures partition customers into independent slices so a failure or noisy tenant affects one cell rather than the whole platform. Running that across three clouds simultaneously multiplies the operational complexity, since each provider differs in networking, identity and managed service behaviour. It is genuinely interesting infrastructure work and it is unusual for a posting to state the architecture this plainly. Location is Bangalore. One employer specific check we recommend and perform ourselves: Fivetran publishes an internal hiring priority field on some of its job postings, and roles marked with statuses meaning future opening or internal resources only still load completely normally in a browser while not actually being open to outside applicants. We checked this requisition specifically and it carries no such flag, which is why it is in today's list. If you browse Fivetran's board directly, look for that field before applying to anything else there.
