Developer Advocate

Who We Are

The number of Python users increases by millions every year. The vast majority of these people use Python as a tool to solve problems at work. Our mission is to make Python practitioners autonomous when they create and use datasets in their organizations.

For this end, we are building data load tool (dlt), an open source Python library, for them. They use dlt in their Python scripts to turn messy, unstructured data into regularly updated datasets. It enables them to create highly scalable, easy-to-maintain, straightforward-to-deploy data pipelines without having to wait for help from a data engineer.

We are dedicated to keeping dlt an open source project surrounded by a vibrant, engaged community. To make this sustainable, dltHub stewards dlt while also offering additional software and services that generate revenue (e.g. like GitHub does with Git).

dltHub is based in Berlin and New York City. It was founded by machine learning and data veterans. We are backed by Dig Ventures and many technical founders from companies such as Huggingface, Rasa, Instana, Miro, and Matillion.

We seek a talented Developer Advocate to join our team and contribute to growing the open source community around data load tool (dlt).

Benefits

In our work culture, we value each other’s autonomy and efficiency. We have set hours for communication and deep work. We like automation, so we automate our work before we automate the work of others.

• We work from the office and at home. We have a great headquarters in Berlin. It’s crucial for us to meet regularly in the office at this stage where we build the product.
• The team’s well-being is fundamental to us. Therefore we offer benefits like regular team lunches, Urban Sports Club membership, and subsidized local transportation. We also have deep work/no-meeting days.
• We want everyone on the team to grow with the company. We offer an annual budget for learning and personal development. If you have an open source project or maintain something on GitHub, you can get an hourly budget for that within working hours.
• Depending on your role and dedication, we also have an ESOP plan for employees. In addition, we provide an option to increase your ESOP if you grow with us.
