Staff Software Engineer - Full Stack

About the role

As a Staff Full-Stack Engineer on the Cloud Clients team, you’ll own end-to-end delivery across the surfaces where dbt developers do their work: dbt Studio in the browser, the dbt VS Code extension, and the CLI workspace runtime that powers both .

What you'll do

• Own parts of the CLI workspace runtime that backs both surfaces, including migrating users off our legacy IDE and enabling asynchronous, background agent runs
• Design and build agent-facing experiences: streaming responses, transparent tool calls, diff review, and charting / rich output for conversational analytics
• Extend dbt into other developer surfaces — MCP integrations that make dbt projects usable directly from AI clients like Claude and Codex
• Lead well-scoped projects end to end: write the plan, partner with design and product, ship in two-week increments, and measure whether it worked
• Share oncall and customer support for your surfaces, and mentor engineers earlier in their careers

• 6–10 years in software engineering
• Python
• TypeScript
• SQL
• Kubernetes
• PostgreSQL
• dbt
• Any graduate
