About the role
From Fivetran’s founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity.

We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.
About Us
Fivetran's standard text
Fivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data. Together, we’re delivering the data infrastructure layer that helps organizations move, transform, and trust their data — from the moment data moves, through every transformation, to the context teams and AI systems rely on.
Fivetran helps organizations automate data movement across the systems, clouds, engines, and tools they rely on.
dbt Labs pioneered analytics engineering, helping teams transform data into reliable, governed insights.
Fivetran's standard text
Together, we support thousands of organizations as they build a trusted foundation for analytics, AI, and better business decisions. As we bring our teams and technology together, we’re building on the strengths of both companies while continuing to deliver the products and experiences our customers know and trust. It’s an exciting time to join us: we’re creating a company with the scale, talent, and technology to help more organizations put their data to work with greater speed, confidence, and impact.
During this transition period, you may see references to both Fivetran and dbt Labs throughout our recruiting process as we integrate our teams, systems, and career sites.
About the Role
As a Staff Full-Stack Engineer on the Cloud Clients team, you’ll own end-to-end delivery across the surfaces where dbt developers do their work: dbt Studio in the browser, the dbt VS Code extension, and the CLI workspace runtime that powers both.
You’ll help build dbt’s AI-native developer experience, including agent workflows, diff review, streaming tool calls, charts and rich outputs for conversational analytics, and MCP apps that bring dbt projects directly into tools like Claude and Codex. This is a true full-stack role: you’ll work across Python, TypeScript, React, and Kubernetes, with the expectation that you can take a feature from schema and service design through to the final pixel without a handoff
What you’ll do
- Own parts of the CLI workspace runtime that backs both surfaces, including migrating users off our legacy IDE and enabling asynchronous, background agent runs.
- Design and build agent-facing experiences: streaming responses, transparent tool calls, diff review, and charting / rich output for conversational analytics.
- Extend dbt into other developer surfaces — MCP integrations that make dbt projects usable directly from AI clients like Claude and Codex.
- Lead well-scoped projects end to end: write the plan, partner with design and product, ship in two-week increments, and measure whether it worked.
- Share oncall and customer support for your surfaces, and mentor engineers earlier in their careers.
Skills we are looking for
- 8+ years building production software, including senior-level ownership of projects that ran for months and involved several people.
- Deep Python experience plus exposure to TypeScript and React experience — you move across the stack without waiting for a handoff.
- Built and maintained something other developers depend on: an IDE, an editor extension, a CLI, an SDK, an LSP server, or a data tool.
- Comfort with the operational side of shipping — APIs, Kubernetes, Postgres, observability — and with being on the hook when something breaks.
- Strong written communication: you can make a technical argument in a document and bring people along.
- Worked asynchronously as part of a fully-remote, distributed team
Bonus points for
- Shipped LLM- or agent-powered features to production, with real opinions on evaluation, latency, cost, and where models fall down.
- Worked with the Language Server Protocol, Monaco, CodeMirror, or other code-editor internals.
- Hands-on dbt, SQL, or data warehouse experience (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift).
- Migrated users off a legacy product surface and decommissioned it without breaking them.
- Go, Rust, or systems-level performance experience.
