About the team

The Semantic Layer team is revolutionizing the modern data stack. We're enabling data-driven organizations to instantly access critical business metrics. These metrics are easily discoverable and consistently implemented across entire organizations—regardless of the analytics tool used.

Your role

Joining this team, you'll collaborate with subject matter experts who share a vision for how organizations should consume business metrics. You'll build a distributed, highly available system that empowers our customers to go beyond data modeling and proactively answer their most crucial business questions. These range from "What was our gross revenue last quarter in the EU?" to "Which of our medications can we afford to make available at a lower price?".

While the backend is crucial, this full-stack team also ensures that end users have a delightful experience with the Semantic Layer. We achieve this by creating excellent ergonomics for the project, including building LLM-powered productivity tools for analytics engineers.

In this role, you can expect to:

  • Mentor teammates and serve as a technical lead
  • Design and implement scalable, reliable, and highly available systems
  • Prioritize end-user experience and contribute to its continuous improvement
  • Balance trade-offs, set priorities, and manage deliverables using your project completion expertise
  • Foster efficient and confident teamwork through high-leverage tooling, mentorship, and your knowledge of industry trends and best practices
  • Establish and uphold quality standards to enhance overall service reliability
  • Participate in daily stand-ups, mentoring sessions, and pair programming

You are a good fit if you:

  • Worked asynchronously as part of a fully remote, international, distributed team
  • Have experience using Python or Go to create scalable full-stack applications (e.g., building services for applications with complex workflows)
  • Enjoy collaborating closely with product management partners
  • Have worked with Large Language Models (LLMs) in the past
  • Value interacting with end-users and deeply understanding their needs
  • Can make informed trade-offs to ship useful features promptly without compromising long-term quality
  • Love backend work but have frontend experience and can reason about end-to-end systems

You'll have an edge if you have:

  • Have experience with distributed systems, database modeling, caching layers and/or DB performance
  • Have worked with the Semantic Layer

Qualifications:

  • Have 8+ years of experience as a software engineer
  • Minimum requirement of bachelor's degree in a related field (computer science, computer engineering, etc.) OR completed enrollment in engineering related bootcamp

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: 400,000 - 541,000 BRL per year
  • Equity Stake
  • Benefits (via Remote.com):
    • Unlimited vacation (and yes we use it!)
    • Paid Parental Leave
    • Wellness stipend
    • Home office stipend, and more!

What to expect in the hiring process:

  • An introductory call with a member of our Talent team
  • A technical screen and meeting with the Hiring Manager
  • A coding interview conducted in a collaborative, pair programming format
  • A panel interview including multiple members of the Engineering Team
  • A final interview with a member of our Engineering Leadership Team

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. 

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. We feel strongly that whether or not your experience exactly fits the job description, your passion and skills will stand out and set you apart even if your career has taken some twists and turns.  If you are on the fence about whether you meet our requirements, we encourage you to apply anyway!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
