About Us

Since 2016, dbt Labs has been on a mission to help analysts create and disseminate organizational knowledge. dbt Labs pioneered the practice of analytics engineering, built the primary tool in the analytics engineering toolbox, and has been fortunate enough to see a fantastic community coalesce to help push the boundaries of the analytics engineering workflow. Today there are 30,000 companies using dbt every week, 100,000 dbt Community members, and over 4,100 dbt Cloud customers. You can learn more about our values here.

The Cloud Config team is driving forward the next evolution of dbt Cloud by redesigning our external APIs to power improved user and developer experiences. From rethinking our core data model and entities, to scaling our APIs accessing state that power hundreds of thousands of dbt run executions a day, you’ll be working on some of the most crosscutting and high scale work at dbt Labs today.

In this role, you can expect to:

  • Collaborate with many internal partners and product teams to influence the design of our API surface
  • Collect non-functional requirements around making a great REST API surface
  • Partner closely with senior and staff engineers on the team to migrate various workloads to new APIs
  • Manage and monitor the systems you build at scale
  • Work with a variety of programming languages, systems, and technologies, including: Python, Django, gRPC, RabbitMQ, Postgres, Kubernetes, and AWS
  • Dive deep into our observability tooling to understand system health and prioritize a roadmap

You are a good fit if you have:

  • Experience supporting and evolving APIs through multiple iterations
  • Care about users and understanding their needs
  • Are a self-starter and can lead a group of engineers from inception to implementation of ideas
  • Understand how to make trade-offs to ship useful features today without sacrificing long-term quality
  • Worked asynchronously as part of a fully-remote, distributed team

You’ll have an edge if you have:

  • Strong knowledge of observability and debugging production issues at scale
  • Previously worked on/led successful API rewrites
  • Previous experience with Python and Django
Compensation and Benefits:
  • Salary: 325,000 – 430,000 BRL per year
  • Equity Stake*
  • Benefits –
    • Unlimited vacation (and yes we use it!)
    • 401k w/ 3% guaranteed contribution
    • Excellent healthcare
    • Paid Parental Leave
    • Wellness stipend
    • Home office stipend, and more!
What to expect in the hiring process (all video interviews unless accommodations are needed):
  • Interview with a Talent Acquisition Partner
  • Technical Interview with Hiring Manager
  • Coding Challenge
  • Systems Design, Architecture & Product Partner
  • Final interview with leadership team member

What we believe:

  • Code-based transformations offer unmatched flexibility and transparency across various “multi-player” development to power everyone in the organization to collaborate on a common language
  • Data analysts should adopt similar practices and tools to software developers
  • Critical analytics infrastructure should be controlled by its users as open source software
  • Analytic code itself—not just analytics tools—will increasingly be open source

dbt Labs is an equal opportunity employer. We’re committed to building an inclusive team that welcomes a diversity of perspectives, people, and backgrounds. If you are on the fence about whether you meet our requirements, we encourage you to apply anyway!
