Role
Who you are

- Experience supporting a B2B SaaS product in AWS or Azure
- Experience working on large cloud infrastructure projects, breaking them down into manageable parts, and making regular progress

- Have 4+ years experience in Infrastructure Engineering experience
- Minimum requirement of Bachelors degree in related field (computer science, computer engineering, etc.) OR

What the job involves
- We are hiring a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who will help our team go beyond cloud infra provisioning to deliver frictionless experiences to our internal clients (developers!) while maintaining operational excellence and production uptime
- The Infrastructure team strives to reduce the cognitive load on Engineering teams by providing an underlying infrastructure platform that is reliable, stable, observable, highly consistent, and easy to reason about
- While the ultimate goal is 100% self-service, the steps toward it have included improving processes and cross-team interactions, documentation, templates and modules, and other affordances to increase developer velocity
- As a Senior Engineer you’ll have impact beyond the immediate team. We look forward to your recommendations for architecture and process improvements, and how we can best reduce friction and increase engineering speed while maintaining reliability
- Use, administer, and improve our stack: Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Azure, Helm, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Python, Bash, and Go
- Partner with dev teams to create infrastructure solutions that result in real customer value - for example smoothly running over 10M dbt jobs a month or helping improve IDE performance
- Support and improve infrastructure systems with parity across tenancy models (single vs multi) and public clouds (AWS and Azure)
- Help create a great developer experience while working with our close partners in Architecture, SRE, Release Engineering, Quality, and Security Engineering
- Participate in a balanced on-call rotation in an environment that values continuous improvement, and help to upgrade our tooling and reduce toil
Application process
- All video interviews unless accommodations are needed
- Interview with a Talent Acquisition Partner
- Interview with Hiring Manager (Technical Interview Prompt)
- Four 45-min Team Interviews (1:1s) that cover the following:
- Technical Skills (Architecture) Interview
- Cross-functional Collaboration Interview
- Systems Design Interview
- Coding Challenge Interview
- Values interview with the Director of Infrastructure
Our take
In 2018, dbt Labs founder Tristan Handy was running an analytics company and created a data build tool (or ‘dbt’) to help transform data for analysis. Fast forward one year and dbt Labs was born, offering its tools to help companies everywhere transform their data workflows.
Raw data comes in myriad forms and dbt Labs’ software allows data specialists to manage the data transformation layer making its use for analysis much easier. It offers consulting services on top of the software, and has ridden a wave of companies embracing digital transformation more as their services and workplaces become more online.
Seen as the de facto standard for modern analytics engineering by many, it reached unicorn status within 2 years of launch and is focusing future efforts on expanding reach to more markets outside of the US. Its 2023 acquisition of Transform, an analytics engineering company, will aid in further developing its product's data transformation capabilities.
