Senior Software Engineer Release Engineering & Developer Experience

As part of the Release & Developer Experience Engineering team at dbt Labs, our job is to provide dbt labs engineers with tooling to ship product 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!

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.
• 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.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Salary: $135,000-$185,000 USD
• Equity Stake*
• Benefits - dbt Labs offers:
  • Unlimited vacation (and yes we use it!)
