Senior Staff Software Engineer - SAP Connectors at Fivetran

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.

What You’ll Do

Design, build, and maintain high-performance ABAP components (function modules, classes, CDS views, and enhancements) to drive scalable outbound data extraction from SAP systems.
Own and modernize internal SAP test environments to accelerate feature development for current connectors and upcoming public cloud / BTP integrations.
Architect robust outbound interfaces leveraging OData, standard and generic DataSources, ODP/ODQ delta frameworks, and RFC connections.
Optimize data throughput and reliability across ECC and S/4HANA landscapes by diagnosing and resolving extraction performance bottlenecks and delta synchronization issues.
Analyze underlying SAP database structures (HANA and traditional DBs) to unlock efficiency gains and streamline data pipeline performance.
Partner closely with engineering, support, and customers to translate complex business requirements into elegant technical architectures.
Deliver end-to-end support for enterprise clients by troubleshooting complex connectivity, authorization, and configuration challenges in customer SAP environments.
Establish technical design standards, interface specifications, and best practice documentation for internal and external knowledge sharing.
Evaluate and integrate emerging SAP technologies—including SAP Datasphere and BTP—to keep Fivetran’s connectors at the forefront of modern data integration.
