## Description

dbt Labs is the pioneer of analytics engineering, helping data teams transform raw data into reliable, actionable insights. Since 2016, we’ve grown from an open source project into the leading analytics engineering platform, now used by over 90,000 teams every week, driving data transformations and AI use cases.

As a Staff Software Engineer on Agentic Automation & ADLC Systems, you will build autonomous and assisted agents that operate across the Analytics Development Life Cycle (ADLC) , from requirements to deployment to remediation.

## Responsibilities

- Build agentic systems that automate analytics workflows across the ADLC

- Requirements & intent capture

- Build & validation

- Test & deploy

- Operate, observe, and remediate

- Orchestrate agent workflows using event-driven triggers

- Integrate agents with ingestion and transformation workflows

- Encode governance and decision policies into automation

- Ensure every agent action is explainable, attributable, observable and auditable

- Balance autonomy with human-in-the-loop controls

## Ownership

- Agent behavior and orchestration logic

- ADLC automation workflows, governance expressed as executable logic

- Agent interaction with the Context Platform

- Safe auto-remediation and escalation paths, observability and feedback/recovery loops

## Requirements

- Strong experience in backend, platform, or systems engineering

- Experience building automation, workflows, or orchestration systems, familiarity with event-driven architectures

- Understanding of data/documentation tools, integration nuances, their information systems.

- Hands-on experience building systems with LLMs or agentic systems (practical, production-minded)

- Strong intuition for safety, failure modes, and guardrails, AI observability

- Exposure to working with structured, semi-structured and unstructured data.

## Nice to Have
