About the role
- The team primarily works on the dbt V2 runtime itself, SQL language features powered by Static Analysis, and new ELT primitives.

Responsibilities
- Guide end-to-end technical design across the engine and its integration points with orchestration, the IDE, adapters, warehouses, and late compute.
- Support engineers in making sound tradeoffs across product value, technical quality, performance, compatibility, and delivery risk.
- Actively contribute to technical design and implementation alongside the team.
- Build an environment where engineers can do high-quality work, grow their scope, and take ownership of meaningful technical problems.
- Strong software-engineering fundamentals and prior experience as a senior/staff engineer, technical lead, or equivalent hands-on technical leader.

- Ability to translate complex or ambiguous product requirements into credible engineering estimates, milestones, and tradeoffs.
- A hands-on technical orientation, including a willingness and ability to stay close to code and engineering details.
