Full-Time Senior Software Engineer

The Cloud Config team is driving forward the next evolution of dbt Cloud by redesigning our external APIs to power improved user and developer experiences. From rethinking our core data model and entities, to scaling our APIs accessing state that power hundreds of thousands of dbt run executions a day, you’ll be working on some of the most crosscutting and high scale work at dbt Labs today. 

In this role, you can expect to:

• Collaborate with many internal partners and product teams to influence the design of our API surface
• Collect non-functional requirements around making a great REST API surface
• Partner closely with senior and staff engineers on the team to migrate various workloads to new APIs
• Manage and monitor the systems you build at scale
• Work with variety of programming languages, systems, and technologies, including: Python, Django, gRPC, RabbitMQ, Postgres, Kubernetes, and AWS
• Dive deep into our observability tooling to understand system health and prioritize a roadmap

You are a good fit if you have:

• Have experience supporting and evolving APIs through multiple iterations
• Care about users and understanding their needs
• Are a self-starter and can lead a group of engineers from inception to implementation of ideas
• Understand how to make tradeoffs to ship useful features today without sacrificing long-term quality
• Worked asynchronously as part of a fully-remote, distributed team

You'll have an edge if you have:

• Have a strong knowledge of observability and debugging production issues at scale
• Have previously worked on/led successful API rewrites
• Have previous experience with Python and Django
