Senior Software Engineer

About the role

The Semantic Layer team owns the systems that turn dbt models into trusted, reusable business metrics. At the heart of this is MetricFlow — the open-source semantic engine that powers the dbt Semantic Layer. MetricFlow lets data teams define metrics once in code and consume them consistently across BI tools, notebooks, AI agents, and downstream applications.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain core features of MetricFlow, including metric definitions, query compilation, dimensional modeling
• Own MetricFlow as an open-source project — triage issues, review external pull requests, manage releases, and engage the community on GitHub and in Slack
• Collaborate with engineers across dbt Cloud, dbt Core, and the Semantic Layer service to ensure MetricFlow integrates seamlessly with the rest of the dbt ecosystem
• Improve performance, reliability, and observability of metric query execution at scale
• Partner with product, design, and developer-relations teammates to translate customer and community feedback into shipped improvements
