Who we are
At dbt Labs, we have developed strong opinions on how companies should practice analytics.
Specifically, we believe that:
- Code, not graphical user interfaces, is the best abstraction to express complex analytic logic
- 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! Over the course of the past several years we've built a community of 20,000+ people and 8,000 companies who are using our ideas, products, and workflows to conduct analytics, including Lyft, Monzo, GitLab, Snowflake, the ACLU, Amazon, JetBlue, and RentTheRunway. Our product, dbt, has come to be synonymous with the practice of analytics engineering, defining an entire industry. We're backed by top investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital, recently raising our series C: read the announcement here!
We're looking for a Director of Design to join our rapidly growing team. We are a product-led growth company, and as Director of Design, you will work closely with the design, product, engineering, marketing, and customer success teams to deliver delightful and empowering user experiences across product and brand domains.

Today, dbt Cloud has made meaningful strides to support the development, deployment, and discovery of datasets in modern data warehouses like BigQuery, Snowflake, and Redshift. By leveraging dbt Core (open source), dbt Cloud provides novel and compelling user interfaces into the modern analytics workflow.
