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 data replication connectors are trusted by many of the world’s largest enterprises.

As a Senior Solution Architect on the Professional Services team, you’ll help customers design and implement secure, scalable data pipelines that move data from applications, databases, file systems, and data lakes into cloud destinations for analytics and reporting. You'll support implementations including Fivetran’s full portfolio of deployment models

You’ll work directly with customer stakeholders to gather requirements, architect solutions, and guide implementation. You’ll help optimize connector performance, troubleshoot issues, and provide best-practice guidance throughout the deployment lifecycle

One of the focus areas will be Hybrid Deployment, where connectors run containerized in customer-managed data planes using tools like Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes. Your role also includes training, documentation, and enablement to help customers confidently own and operate their production pipelines

You’ll collaborate closely with Account Executives, Customer Success Managers, Sales Engineers, Support, Product, and Engineering — and should be comfortable working across both technical and non-technical domains.

This is a full time position based remotely in the Central or Eastern Timezones of the US.
