Position Overview

We’re looking for an Senior Infrastructure Engineer with GCP expertise to help us build a seamless, reliable platform for dbt Cloud across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Our team’s mission is to reduce cognitive load for developers by providing a stable, observable, and easy-to-use infrastructure platform. While we support all three clouds, we’re specifically looking for someone to deepen our GCP capabilities as we expand multi-tenancy.

Over the past year, we’ve designed and operationalized a next-gen cell-based architecture, scaling dbt Cloud 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 senior engineer on our team, you’ll work on medium-sized 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

In this role, you can expect to:

• 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 GCP 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, SRE, Release Engineering, and Security.
• Leverage tools and languages such as Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, Python, Bash, Helm, ArgoCD, Go, DataDog.
• Participate in a balanced on-call rotation in an environment that values continuous improvement, and help to upgrade our tooling and reduce toil.

Requirements

You are a good fit if you have:

• 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.
• Worked asynchronously as part of a fully-remote, distributed team - and have excellent communication and writing skills.

You'll have an edge if you have:

• Prior experience in multiple clouds.
• More extensive Kubernetes administration and troubleshooting background.
