We launched the dbt Learn training program in January 2019, since then we’ve trained 350 people on the analytics engineering workflow–from version control to data warehousing best practices. We have sold out every single public dbt Learn, and have more demand for private dbt Learns than we can meet. In 2021, we expect to train more than 1000 analytics engineers.

This is where you come in.

We’re looking for someone who shares our excitement about empowering analysts to own the entire analytics engineering workflow with dbt. No formal teaching experience is required. Some dbt experience is preferred. If you’re the go-to person on your team when someone has a SQL question, or you’ve organized your internal Looker training, or you just love dbt and want to introduce it to others – this is the job for you.

Who we are

At Fishtown Analytics, we have developed strong opinions on how companies should practice analytics.

Specifically, we believe that:

--> Code, not graphical user interfaces, is the best abstraction to express complex analytic logic

--> Data analysts should adopt similar practices and tools to software developers

--> Critical analytics infrastructure should be controlled by its users as open source software

--> Analytic code itself — not just analytics tools — will increasingly be open source

It turns out that a lot of other people believe this too! Over the course of the past several years we've built a community of 8,000+ people and 3,000 companies who are using our ideas, products, and workflows to conduct analytics, including Lyft, Monzo, GitLab, the ACLU, Amazon, JetBlue, and RentTheRunway. Our product, dbt (https://www.getdbt.com/), has come to be synonymous with the practice of analytics engineering, defining an entire industry.

We’re on a mission to empower analysts to create and disseminate organizational knowledge. If this sounds like a mission you could get behind, we're excited to get your help to continue to power this growth into the future.
