About Us
dbt Labs is the pioneer of analytics engineering, helping data teams transform raw data into reliable, actionable insights. Since 2016, we’ve grown from an open source project into the leading analytics engineering platform, now used by over 50,000 teams every week.
As of February 2025, we’ve surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and serve more than 5,400 dbt Cloud customers, including JetBlue, HubSpot, Vodafone New Zealand, and Dunelm. We’re backed by top‑tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter. At our core, we believe in empowering data practitioners:
Code‑based data transformations unlock transparency, flexibility, and collaboration
Analysts should adopt software engineering best practices to build trusted data products
Core analytics infrastructure should be open source and user‑controlled
Analytic code—not just tools—should be shared and community‑driven
dbt is now synonymous with analytics engineering, defining the modern data stack and serving as the data control plane for enterprise teams around the world. And we’re just getting started.
Senior Data Engineer II You’ll take the lead in designing, building, and owning core components of our data ecosystem—from infrastructure to pipelines to data products. This data foundation is essential for enabling analytics, accelerating growth, and improving operational efficiency across the business. You’ll be part of a tight‑knit, strategic team that combines strong technical execution with a bias for impact and cross‑functional influence.
This is a unique opportunity to join a team involved in using dbt Labs products daily to build the company's internal data capabilities. This group is responsible for building and maintaining foundational data infrastructure that powers critical business decisions across the company.

In this role, you can expect to:
Design, build, and manage scalable, reliable data pipelines that ingest product and event data into our data stores
Develop and maintain canonical datasets to track key product and business metrics—user growth, engagement, revenue, and more
Architect robust, reliable systems for large volume batch data processing
Drive decisions on data architecture, tooling, and engineering best practices
Enhance observability and monitoring of existing workflows and processes
Partner cross‑functionally with teams across Infrastructure, Product, Marketing, Finance, and GTM to understand data needs and deliver impactful solutions
Provide product feedback by “dogfooding” new data infrastructure and AI technology

Are an expert in SQL and Python
8+ years of experience as a data engineer, and 10+ years of total experience in software engineering (including data engineering roles)
Strong knowledge of data infrastructure and architecture design
Hands‑on experience with modern orchestration tools like Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect
Hands‑on experience with handling and ingesting large amounts of Parquet files
