What You’ll Do

• Create, secure, network, and validate containerized hybrid deployment data pipeline architectures in conjunction with our customers, account executives, and field sales engineering teams, for maximum scalability and security.
• Work closely with Fivetran’s Product and engineering teams to ensure our Hybrid Deployment capabilities are fit for purpose, secure, cost-effective, and well implemented.
• Stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and trends in containerization, security, autoscaling and secure data management.
• Teach, enable, and coach your peers at Fivetran on the virtues and techniques of Hybrid Deployment and how to deliver its value to customers.
