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 Us
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. 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
The Fivetran information security organization is a motivated and innovative team responsible for ensuring the continuous integrity, confidentiality, and availability of customers’ data. Our customers trust us with all their most sensitive information, and we consider maintaining that trust to be a critical, core component of our product and business. Fivetran is seeking a motivated candidate for a GRC Senior Engineer of the Security Team. The role requires a compliance-focused engineer with knowledge and expertise in building data sets that will be used to turn our compliance into a continuous data-driven function. The position reports to the Director, GRC.
Will build and own a security data lake that aggregates evidence and telemetry from across our environment, and use it to power continuous control monitoring (CCM) that replaces manual control testing with automation. You will also support core GRC operations, including internal and external audits, risk management, and vendor assessments. Acts as a subject matter expert within specific responsibility area(s) and applies internal audit best practices and keeps current with applicable rules and regulations for security compliance frameworks, as well as any authoritative pronouncements issued by relevant governing bodies. Advanced security risk or audit certifications are required and leading cybersecurity certifications are preferred.
This is a full-time position based out of our Oakland office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.
Technologies You’ll Use
AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Secureframe, Wiz, GitHub
What You’ll Do
- You will build and maintain a security data lake on Fivetran itself, using our own platform to centralize the data that powers continuous control monitoring.
- Govern the lake itself: enforce data quality, retention, least-privilege access, and sensitive-data handling
- Build compliance-as-code: automated evidence collection, continuous control monitoring, and policy-as-code checks across cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, identity, and SaaS systems
- Integrate and extend GRC tooling and internal platforms with APIs, scripts, and workflows that replace manual audit work and give real-time visibility into control health
