Traveler-Friendly Insight

This role is listed as fully remote, based in Germany — meaning you must be a Germany-based resident (or eligible to work there). The position is not globally open; it is geographically anchored to Germany due to the enterprise sales territory covering top German accounts.

Timezone & schedule flexibility: Enterprise sales roles inherently require synchronous availability during German business hours (CET/CEST, UTC+1/+2). Client calls, stakeholder meetings, and 90–180 day deal cycles demand real-time responsiveness. This is not an async-friendly role — expect fixed working hours aligned with German enterprise clients.

Visa considerations: Since the role requires a German work location, you'd need the right to work in Germany. Options include:

  • EU/EEA citizens: Freedom of movement applies — no visa required.
  • Non-EU nationals: Germany's Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) or a standard work visa via employer sponsorship would be needed. Germany does not have a dedicated digital nomad visa.

Nomad lifestyle fit: Limited. The mandatory in-person Revenue Bootcamp in Week 2 requires travel to a Fivetran office. Ongoing client relationships in Germany likely mean periodic in-person meetings. This role suits someone based in Germany who works from home, not a location-independent traveler.

The monthly cell phone stipend is a modest travel-friendly perk, and RSU grants add long-term financial upside worth considering for those planning extended stays in Europe.

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.
