About the role

We're looking for a Staff Infrastructure Engineer with GCP, Azure, or AWS expertise to help us build a seamless, reliable platform for the dbt platform across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Our team's mission is to create a seamless developer experience by providing a stable, observable, and easy-to-use infrastructure platform. Over the past year, we've designed and operationalised a next-gen cell-based architecture, scaling the dbt platform across all three cloud providers.


Now, we're focused on automation, self-service, and improving developer velocity through better tooling, processes, and infrastructure design. As a Staff engineer on our team, you'll work on medium projects, helping to refine our platform while ensuring performance, reliability, and a great developer experience. You'll collaborate across teams, solve real infrastructure challenges, and help shape the future of multi-cloud dbt Cloud.


Responsibilities:

  • Design, operate, and support infrastructure systems with parity across tenancy models (single vs multi) and public clouds (AWS, Azure, and GCP) - and work with engineering teams to get their services consistently deployed to those environments.
  • Bring cloud infrastructure expertise to the team, helping us strengthen and scale our infrastructure as we expand dbt Cloud's multi-cloud capabilities.
  • Help create a great developer experience while working with our close partners in Architecture, Release Engineering, Product Engineering and Security.
  • Leverage tools and languages such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Python, Bash, Helm, ArgoCD, Go, and DataDog.
  • Design and build automation to eliminate manual toil and streamline infrastructure operations at scale.
  • Identify and implement infrastructure optimisations that reduce cloud spend without sacrificing reliability.
  • Participate in a balanced on-call rotation in an environment that values continuous improvement, and help to upgrade our tooling and reduce toil.


Requirements:

  • 10+ years of Experience with the clouds, tools, and languages in our stack, especially: AWS\Azure\GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Python, and Bash.
  • Solid experience with declarative Infrastructure as Code - ideally with Terraform or a willingness to learn while leveraging your CloudFormation or ARM\Bicep background.
  • Love to automate tasks.
  • Worked asynchronously as part of a fully remote, distributed team - and have excellent communication and writing skills.
  • Prior experience in a multi-cloud environment.
  • More extensive Kubernetes administration and troubleshooting background.
