Job description

About Us

Since 2016, dbt Labs has been on a mission to help analysts create and disseminate organizational knowledge. We've pioneered the practice of analytics engineering, built the primary tool in the analytics engineering toolbox, and have been fortunate enough to see a fantastic community coalesce to help push the boundaries of the analytics engineering workflow. Today, there are 50,000 teams using dbt every week, 100,000 dbt Community members, and over 5,100 dbt Cloud customers.

As of February 2025, we surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), scaling from $2M ARR to this milestone in only four years. Simultaneously, we've exceeded the 5,000 customer mark, with 85% year-over-year growth in adoption among Fortune 500 companies. This momentum is fueled by dbt’s critical role as the data control plane for enterprise data teams around the world, who rely on the technology to transform data into reliable, actionable business insights. We're rapidly growing and looking for passionate people to join our global team. Learn more about what makes us special by checking out our values here.

We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer with GCP expertise to help us build a seamless, reliable platform for dbt Cloud across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Our team’s mission is to reduce cognitive load for developers by providing a stable, observable, and easy-to-use infrastructure platform. While we support all three clouds, we’re specifically looking for someone to deepen our GCP capabilities as we expand multi-tenancy.

Over the past year, we’ve designed and operationalised a next-gen cell-based architecture, scaling dbt Cloud across all three cloud providers. Now, we’re focused on automation, self-service, and improving developer velocity through better tooling, processes, and infrastructure design.

As an senior engineer on our team, you’ll work on medium-sized projects, helping to refine our platform while ensuring performance, reliability, and a great developer experience. You’ll collaborate across teams, solve real infrastructure challenges, and help shape the future of multi-cloud dbt Cloud.

In this role, you can expect to:

Design, operate, and support infrastructure systems with parity across tenancy models (single vs multi) and public clouds (AWS, Azure, and GCP) - and work with engineering teams to get their services consistently deployed to those environments
Bring GCP expertise to the team, helping us strengthen and scale our infrastructure as we expand dbt Cloud’s multi-cloud capabilities.
Help create a great developer experience while working with our close partners in Architecture, SRE, Release Engineering, and Security
Leverage tools and languages such as Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, Python, Bash, Helm, ArgoCD, Go, DataDog
Participate in a balanced on-call rotation in an environment that values continuous improvement, and help to upgrade our tooling and reduce toil

You are a good fit if you have:

Experience with the clouds, tools, and languages in our stack, especially: AWS\Azure\GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Python, and Bash
Solid experience with declarative Infrastructure as Code - ideally with Terraform or a willingness to learn while leveraging your CloudFormation or ARM\Bicep background.
Worked asynchronously as part of a fully-remote, distributed team - and have excellent communication and writing skills

You'll have an edge if you have:

Prior experience in multiple clouds
More extensive Kubernetes administration and troubleshooting background

Optional:

Qualifications:

Have 4+ years experience
Completed enrollment in related bootcamp

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 50,000 teams using dbt every week, 100,000 dbt Community members, and 5,100 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.
