As part of the Release and Developer Experience Engineering team at dbt Labs, our job is to provide dbt labs engineers with tooling to ship products safely and reliably, and provide a great developer experience. We do that by building tooling that reduces the friction and effort at each stage of the software delivery lifecycle: development, testing, deployment, and monitoring. Our work is varied, cross-cutting, and extremely rewarding and impactful – we increase the velocity of the entire engineering department.

As a Staff Engineer, you’ll be the technical backbone for the team, providing technical guidance and leadership, as well as direct technical contributions. You must be able to inspire those around you with a deep passion and hunger to solve ambiguous problems.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Work alongside other software engineers focused on delivering a great experience to all developers at dbt labs.
• Perform code reviews, write application code, and create and deploy internal tooling.
• Focus on improving our continuous delivery processes to make them increasingly safe, fast, and reliable. In addition, expand our existing processes to become multi-cloud.
• Accelerate new service creation, testing, and deployment by enabling internal application developers to rapidly build and continuously verify solutions in pre-production environments.
• Improve technical quality across the organization.
• Work with a variety of programming languages, systems, and technologies, including: Go, Python, Postgres, Kubernetes, Argo CD and Rollouts, AWS, Terraform, Helm, Github Actions and gitops.

Qualifications:

• Have 5+ years experience as a software engineer OR
• Minimum requirement of Bachelors degree in related field (computer science, computer engineering, etc.) OR
• Completed enrollment in engineering related bootcamp

You are a good fit if you:

• Have worked in the Release Engineering or Developer Experience (DX) space or have a demonstrated passion for improving your development environment through better tooling.
• Served as a technical lead and defined the roadmap for complex projects spanning multiple teams and functions
• Have worked on a product development team.
• Value interacting with end-users and deeply understanding their needs
• Know how to make tradeoffs to ship features today without sacrificing long-term quality
• Are highly motivated, curious, and able to work autonomously

You'll have an edge if:

• “Elephant Carpaccio” or vertical slicing means something to you and you have completed it before
• You have experience working on a distributed team
