Solutions Architect, Enterprise (France)

About Us 

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 50,000 teams every week.

We’re backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter. At our core, we believe in empowering data practitioners:

We’re looking to hire a Solutions Architect to join our Field Engineering team - and lead the charge in France.

This isn’t a behind-the-scenes role. You’ll be the face of dbt Labs for some of our most strategic French and European customers. You’ll run technical discovery, deliver high-impact demos, and guide prospects from first interest to successful adoption.

We’re looking for someone who blends technical depth with presence and polish - someone who can command a (virtual or in-person) room, lead brilliant product demos, and drive enterprise decisions with confidence and clarity.

Why this role, and why now?

dbt Labs is expanding in EMEA, and France is a core strategic market. You’ll be our first France-based SA, and the impact you make - with customers, community, and colleagues - will shape our future in the region. It’s a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing, high-performing team and grow into a public-facing data leader in France.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Become an expert in designing enterprise-grade data pipelines with dbt Cloud
• Own the full technical sales lifecycle for prospects and customers in France
• Deliver excellent demos that inspire confidence and show real-world value
• Build champions within enterprise data teams, helping them adopt and scale dbt
• Contribute to dbt’s voice in the French data ecosystem: speaking at industry events, webinars, and meetups
• Build close relationships with our Partners (including companies like Snowflake, Google, and Databricks) and enable them to adopt and implement dbt Cloud for their clients
• Work with Product to build and maintain the dbt Cloud enterprise roadmap
• Be a cultural cornerstone in our EMEA Field Engineering team: sharing ideas, giving feedback, raising the bar

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• Team-first mentality: you care as much about lifting up your peers as you do about your own success
• 4+ years of experience in Solutions Architecture, Sales Engineering, or Data Consulting with enterprise clients
• Strong SQL fluency and a solid foundation in data modeling, pipelines, and cloud data architectures
• Experience with dbt, or a strong understanding of the modern data stack
• Experience delivering high-quality demos - and a passion for storytelling through product
  
• Public speaking or external-facing experience: you’re comfortable presenting to executives and roomfuls of practitioners
• Proactive ownership of the technical sale: you don’t wait to be told - you drive the process forward
• Growth mindset and ambition: you want to take this role and run with it

If you are excited about this role and know that you could get there, but don’t have 100% of the qualifications listed above, please still apply! We value diverse perspectives and want to build the best team we can, and acknowledge that sometimes the right people won’t check every box on a list.
