About The Role
DBT’s strong use of commercial and custom software technologies is essential to its production operations and workflows.

- Champion secure development practices, including threat modeling, dependency management, and compliance with enterprise security standards
- Ensure platform stability during high-demand production cycles
Team Leadership & Development
- Lead and coordinate a team of web engineers, providing effective feedback, moderating technical discussions, and mentoring engineers in their professional growth
- Drive code quality and technical standards through code reviews, testing enforcement, and adoption of best practices, including governance of AI-assisted code generation
- Adjust and evolve team processes by listening to feedback, evaluating workflows, and guiding the team through changes that enhance productivity and quality
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Production Technology, Pipeline Engineering, and Studio Operations teams to ensure web-based systems integrate seamlessly with production workflows and tooling ecosystems
- Communicate technical information effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating production needs into engineering solutions

- Experience working with React and JavaScript and other modern frontend frameworks (Vue, Angular, etc.)
- Experience designing and maintaining RESTful APIs or GraphQL services
- Experience with databases and caching strategies: MySQL, Postgres, Redis, etc.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) for application hosting and infrastructure management
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and Git-based development workflows
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment practices
- Experience with AI coding tool best practices, including effective use, code review standards for AI-generated code, and security considerations

- Demonstrated ability to architect major systems and integrations
- Excellent time management and organizational skills
- Ability to work well individually and collaboratively in a fast-paced, production-critical environment
