About Us
About the Team:
We’re building a new frontier in Cost Management—helping customers gain clarity, control, and confidence over their cloud spend. As part of a fast-growing team focused on customer-facing cost observability, we’re scaling quickly from 4 to 10 engineers in just two quarters. With a strong focus on Python-based distributed systems, this is a great opportunity to shape the foundation of a multi-tenant SaaS product and make a real impact.
What You’ll Do:
- Design and develop back-end services and front-end experiences that bring cost observability to life for our users.
- Contribute to a multi-tenant, distributed architecture, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance.
- Collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to shape new features.
- Participate in (and later help lead) code reviews, and on-call rotations (starting later this year).
- As a team still in its early stages, you’ll have the chance to influence engineering culture, tooling, and processes.
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong foundation in Python and experience with distributed systems, APIs, and Kubernetes.
- Exposure to multi-tenant SaaS systems and comfort navigating complex architectures.
- Experience or interest in gRPC, Protocol Buffers, Kafka, and modern CI/CD practices.
- A growth mindset, with enthusiasm for learning through retrospectives and team collaboration.
Qualifications:
- Have 3 to 6+ years experience
You'll have an edge if you have:
- Experience with Rust, or interest in exploring it where relevant.
Why Join Now?
- We're not yet in full production, which means you can help shape our path.
- You’ll be joining a team with a clear growth trajectory—and room for leadership.
- We're serious about becoming a good organizational citizen: everyone will be trained to interview, give feedback, and grow beyond code.
- Flexible on-call processes, supportive mentorship, and a focus on sustainable engineering.

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.
dbt Labs is an equal opportunity employer. We're committed to building an inclusive team that welcomes a diversity of perspectives, people, and backgrounds regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, citizenship, veteran status, or any other protected status.
