Senior Product Manager - Adapters

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.

• Contribute hands-on to the dbt Core / Fusion codebases, including code reviews, documentation, and small feature implementations
• Collaborate with OSS strategy leads, platform PM peers, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver a unified roadmap

What success looks like

• Shipping net-new features on a predictable quarterly cadence
• Measurable contribution to Fusion PLG growth metrics, including identification and monetization of local dbt deployments
• Hands-on contributions to dbt Core and Fusion code bases, including merged PRs and meaningful improvements to the open source codebase
• Strong execution and alignment across the Fusion engineering team

You’re a good fit if you have

• 2-4 years of product management experience in technical domains such as developer tooling, data platforms, or open source software

• Understanding of how open source investments drive PLG growth and product strategy
• Ability to bridge technical delivery with business impact, translating features into revenue and growth metrics
• Experience working with engineering teams to define, prioritize, and ship complex technical features
• Strong communication skills with empathy for open source contributors and enterprise users alike

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with dbt or similar transformation frameworks
• Background in plugin architectures, extensibility systems, or platform ecosystems
• Understanding of PLG motions and freemium-to-paid conversion strategies
• Experience with SQL engines, query optimization, or compute systems
