Senior Software Engineer, Adapters

About the role

dbt Core, one of the most popular Open Source Software (OSS) data transformation tools, has continued to grow and has ambitious goals for the year ahead. We are hiring developers in Romania to work on the data warehouse adapters, a key strategic asset of the dbt framework.

This is an existing team within dbt Labs that we are looking to expand. This team needs senior technical leadership and OSS stewardship. As data warehouses and dbt evolve and grow, this person will integrate new capabilities into the dbt adapters and ensure we are able to leverage their evolving functionality. Our data warehouse adapters have a significant OSS footprint so you will be able to work closely with the community and work in the open.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Lead the development of the interface used by all dbt adapters within the data warehouse adapters codebase and own platform specific changes for a number of individual adapter repositories.
• Design, develop, test, deploy, and monitor both open-source and proprietary software, ensuring it is reliable, well-tested, and adheres to best coding practices.
• Create extension and integration points to facilitate custom adapter creation.
• Develop a robust software framework for seamlessly integrating adapters into dbt Cloud.
• Collaborate closely with the OSS community, product teams, and other adapter stakeholders.
• Mentor and support junior team members, fostering a collaborative and innovative environment.

Qualifications:

• Have 5-8 years experience as a software engineer
• 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 with data warehouses before and understand both their fundamentals (especially Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, etc) as well as data engineering principles
• Are comfortable with leading initiatives and small working groups on projects
• Value interacting with the OSS community and deeply understanding their needs
• Support the career development of team members by actively providing mentorship and coaching

You'll have an edge if:

• Have worked on growing teams developing in a large OSS Python code base
• Have direct experience with using dbt
• Have experience working on a distributed team
• Have been a data engineer in the past
