About Us
dbt Labs is the pioneer of analytics engineering, helping data teams transform raw data into reliable, actionable insights. Since 2016, we’ve grown from an open source project into the leading analytics engineering platform, now used by over 50,000 teams every week.
As of February 2025, we’ve surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and serve more than 5,400 dbt Cloud customers, including JetBlue, HubSpot, Vodafone New Zealand, and Dunelm. We’re backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter. At our core, we believe in empowering data practitioners:
- Code-based data transformations unlock transparency, flexibility, and collaboration
- Analysts should adopt software engineering best practices to build trusted data products
- Core analytics infrastructure should be open source and user-controlled
- Analytic code—not just tools—should be shared and community-driven
The Query Applications team is revolutionizing the modern data stack. We're enabling data-driven organizations to instantly access their data assets by building native Query Applications within dbt Cloud, and enabling anyone to access business metrics via our Semantic Layer product. These metrics are easily discoverable and consistently implemented across entire organizations—regardless of the analytics tool used.
Your roleJoining this team, you'll collaborate with subject matter experts who share a vision for how organizations should consume business metrics. You'll build a distributed, highly available system that empowers our customers to go beyond data modeling and proactively answer their most crucial business questions. These range from "What was our gross revenue last quarter in the EU?" to "Which of our medications can we afford to make available at a lower price?".
While the backend is crucial, this full-stack team also ensures that end users have a delightful experience with the Semantic Layer. We achieve this by creating excellent ergonomics for the project, including building LLM-powered productivity tools for analytics engineers.
