dbt Labs is a mission-driven company. We were founded with the goal of unlocking the value of transformation for analytics engineers. We’ve been successful at becoming the standard in data transformation. Now, we’re expanding to power the entire Analytics Development Life Cycle. And we’re growing. To power that growth, we’re looking for a VP of Engineering to join us and lead the teams that will be building and scaling dbt into the future.
In this role, you will manage and develop all of our engineering teams, oversee execution, and build an organization dedicated to delighting data practitioners and data analysts. You will work on projects at every stage of the pipeline, improving our quality and reliability from discovery through operations. You can expect to work with autonomy, advocate for best-in-class practices, and collaborate with teams across dbt Labs. This is a pivotal year for us, and you will have the opportunity to create exciting new customer experiences for all data practitioners. You’ll build a great engineering team, partner across our Tech org with Product, Design, and Developer Experience. You’ll also be the face of Engineering to the rest of the company, building relationships, taking feedback, and delivering high quality products to our customers.
Who we are
At dbt Labs, we have developed strong opinions on how companies should practice analytics.
Specifically, we believe that:
- 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
It turns out that a lot of other people believe this too! Today, there are 30,000 companies using dbt every week, 100,000 dbt Community members, and 4,100 companies paying for dbt Cloud. Our customers include JetBlue, Hubspot, Vodafone New Zealand, and Dunelm. dbt is synonymous with the practice of analytics engineering, defining an entire industry. We’re backed by top investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter.
