About the Role

We’re seeking an experienced Resident Architect (RA) with a passion for solving challenging problems with dbt to join our Professional Services team. RAs are billable to dbt Cloud Enterprise customers and help achieve our mission to empower data developers to create and disseminate organizational knowledge.

What You'll Do
  • Drive customer outcomes
  • Be one of the first RAs on our Professional Services team - help build out a specialized role from the ground up
  • Work on a variety of impactful customer technical projects - inclusive of implementation, troubleshooting configurations, instilling best practices, and solutioning MVPs and long term solutions to customer specific requirements
  • Consult on architecture and design
  • Ensure our most strategic dbt Cloud customers are adopting the product
  • Collaborate with other internal customer facing teams at dbt Labs - Sales, Solution Architects, Training, Support
  • Provide critical feedback to dbt Labs product and engineering teams to improve and prioritize customer requests and ensure rapid resolution for engagement specific issues
  • Become a product expert with dbt in the context of the modern data stack (if you aren’t already)
What You'll Need
  • You have 5+ years experience working with technical data tooling in a customer-facing post-sales, technical architect or consulting role
  • You have deep expertise in at least one data platform (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift)
  • You have experience using, deploying, or configuring dbt Cloud - working with dbt for minimum 1 year
  • You are proficient in writing SQL and python in analytics contexts
  • You look forward to building skills in technical areas that support deployment and integration of dbt Cloud solutions to complete customer projects
  • You are customer focused - embracing one of core values that users are our best advocates
  • You are highly organized. Comfort with technical project delivery - managing scope, timelines, and deliverables - this role will be staffed on multiple engagements at once
  • You communicate clearly and concisely with internal and external stakeholders - demonstrating a capacity to clearly and concisely communicate about complex technical, architectural, and/or organizational problems and propose thorough iterative solutions
  • You thrive in a remote organization that highly values transparency and cross-collaboration
  • ~20% travel should be expected (occasional customer visits, company retreat and offsites)
What Will Make You Stand Out
  • You have obtained the dbt Analytics Engineering Certification
  • You have the ability to advise on dbt Cloud recommendations, and build direction/consensus with the customer to move forward
  • Experience with traditional Enterprise ETL tooling (Informatica, Datastage, Talend)
Benefits
  • Unlimited vacation time with a culture that actively encourages time off
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Health & wellness stipend
  • Flexible stipends for:
    • Home office setup
    • Learning and development
    • Office space
Compensation

We offer competitive compensation packages commensurate with experience, including salary, equity, and where applicable, performance-based pay. Our Talent Acquisition Team can answer questions around dbt Lab’s total rewards during your interview process.

  • The typical starting salary range for this role is:
    • A$175,000 - A$215,000 AUD
Remote Hiring Process 
  • Interview with a Talent Acquisition Partner
  • An introductory interview with our Professional Services Regional Manager
  • After that we’ll ask you to complete a take home task
  • Team Interviews with a current Resident Architect and our VP, Customer Services

 

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. 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!
