A 24-hour Hackathon ran from Tuesday to Wednesday, in which the engineers divided into six teams to prototype new products for Fivetran:
On Wednesday, we had a fireside chat discussing the history of the engineering team.
And, of course, everyone relaxed and explored the island all throughout their stay, too:
Fivetran is looking for enterprising and talented people to join our team. If what you’ve seen inspires you, take a look at our careers page!
