We’re growing fast and building a team of passionate, curious people across the globe. Learn more about what makes us special by checking out our values.
About the Role
dbt Labs is on a mission to help analysts create and disseminate organizational knowledge. As a Technical Solutions Specialist, you’ll serve as a frontline problem solver, working deeply across our customer base to guide them through complex technical challenges with empathy, clarity, and precision. You’ll work at the intersection of technical troubleshooting, customer education, and internal escalation, and play a critical role in helping our users succeed with dbt.
What You’ll Be Responsible For:
- Diagnosing and resolving technically complex issues related to dbt, SQL queries, templating languages (Jinja/Liquid), and cloud data platforms.
- Clarifying customer goals and context before jumping into solutions — ensuring that any workaround or fix is anchored in what the customer truly needs.
- Root cause analysis — narrowing down issues quickly and precisely, resulting in faster time-to-resolution or high-quality escalation to engineering.
- Communication excellence — setting expectations, providing timely updates, and ensuring that even long-running cases resolve with high customer satisfaction.
- Bringing others along — explaining why something is happening, not just what’s happening, in a way that builds trust and shared understanding.
- Creating documentation and internal enablement material that help the broader team level up and improve efficiency across the support org.
Success Looks Like:
- You understand how dbt fits into the modern data stack, and how our users use dbt in concert with other tools like Snowflake, BigQuery, GitHub, Airflow, or Okta.
- You consistently solve a high percentage of tickets, handle 6–10 cases per 4-hour shift, and reduce time-to-solution for users.
- You escalate issues with precision, submitting clear, reproducible bugs or feature requests — not vague or misrouted cases.
- Customers consistently rate you highly through CSAT surveys, even when their problems are complex or solutions take time.
- Your documentation is referenced regularly by peers, indicating internal impact and knowledge leadership.
What We’re Looking For:
Must-Haves:
- 5+ years in a technical consulting, advanced support, or software development role within a SaaS environment.
- Proven experience troubleshooting SQL queries, templating languages like Jinja or Liquid, and working with YAML configurations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to explain symptoms, root causes, and solutions clearly.
- Hands-on experience in managing escalations to Engineering, with attention to reproducibility and clarity.
- A collaborative, humble, and detail-oriented teammate who is passionate about helping others succeed.
- Comfortable working with distributed teams across time zones — especially cross-region Engineering partners.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Prior experience using or supporting dbt
- Experience with SAML, especially with Azure AD or Okta
- Working knowledge of API scripting (using access tokens), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, Gitlab, Azure DevOps), or orchestration tools like Airflow or Dagster
- Familiarity with Snowflake or BigQuery access models (OAuth, Roles, Grants)
- Infrastructure fluency — ability to troubleshoot in cloud-hosted VPCs or bastion servers
Career Path and Growth:
- Within 3 months: You’ll be confidently handling support tickets, building internal documentation, and participating in team knowledge shares.
- At 6 months: You’ll demonstrate growing ownership over support areas, contribute meaningfully to internal process improvements, and be a go-to person for certain technical topics.
- At 12 months: You’ll be shaping our internal support playbooks, leading enablement sessions, and setting the foundation for a potential promotion path into Technical Support Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Product Support leadership — depending on your growth aspirations and the evolving needs of the business.
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
- You’ll work on complex, high-impact problems in the analytics ecosystem
- Join a collaborative, deeply curious, and humble support team that prioritizes learning and empathy
- Access to a rich technical stack, supportive leadership, and the ability to have real influence on both product and process
Benefits

- Comprehensive healthcare coverage
- Generous paid parental leave
- Health & wellness stipend
- Flexible stipends for:
- Home office setup
- Learning and development
- Office space
- And more

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Customer Solutions Engineer
Verify your SOC code before applying
Customer Solutions Engineer roles get filed under different SOC codes depending on the employer. Pull the O*NET profile for both software developer and systems engineer codes so you can confirm your degree field aligns with whichever classification your target employer uses.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating salary
Run your target job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search before your first salary conversation. The LCA must certify a wage at or above the prevailing rate, so knowing Level I through IV thresholds tells you what offers are structurally viable for sponsorship.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Customer Solutions Engineer roles by employers who have certified LCAs for this specific job title. That filing history tells you the employer already understands the specialty occupation argument, which significantly reduces offer-to-petition risk.
Clarify pre-sales versus post-sales scope in writing
USCIS scrutinizes roles that blend sales activity with technical work. Get the job description to explicitly state that your function is technical implementation and client solution architecture, not quota-carrying sales, before the petition is drafted.
Time your application around the cap-subject lottery
If you're changing employers outside of a cap-exempt institution, your new employer must file during the H-1B registration window each March. Missing it means waiting a full year, so coordinate your offer timeline with HR to confirm they can meet USCIS deadlines.
Document client-facing technical deliverables for RFEs
USCIS sometimes issues Requests for Evidence on hybrid technical-commercial roles. Gather architecture diagrams, solution proposals, and implementation plans you've authored. These demonstrate that the role requires specialized engineering knowledge, not generalist client management skills.

Find Customer Solutions Engineer JobsCustomer Solutions Engineer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Customer Solutions Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It typically qualifies when the employer demonstrates the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as computer science, software engineering, or information systems. The risk area is roles where the job description blends technical and sales duties without clearly requiring that specialized degree. A tightly scoped job description focused on solution architecture and technical implementation strengthens the specialty occupation argument significantly.
Which SOC code do employers usually use when filing an H-1B LCA for this role?
Employers most commonly file Customer Solutions Engineer roles under SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) or 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), depending on whether the work centers on software configuration or broader systems integration. The SOC code determines the prevailing wage tier, so confirm with your employer which classification they intend to use before the LCA is certified with DOL.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for Customer Solutions Engineer positions?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified LCA filing history for this job title, so you can see which companies have already navigated the specialty occupation classification for this specific role. Targeting employers with prior filings reduces the risk that your petition becomes a test case for a job category the employer's legal team hasn't handled before.
Can my employer file for H-1B sponsorship if my role involves some pre-sales activity?
Yes, but the petition needs to frame the primary duty as technical problem-solving and solution design, not revenue generation. USCIS has issued RFEs on hybrid roles where the job description reads more like an account executive than an engineer. Ask your employer to document the degree-level technical requirements clearly and separate them from any commercial metrics in the offer letter and support letter.
What happens to my H-1B status if I move from one Customer Solutions Engineer role to another employer?
You can start working for the new employer as soon as they file a non-frivolous H-1B transfer petition, under portability rules, provided you've been in valid H-1B status for at least six months. The new employer files a new I-129 and LCA covering the same or similar occupational classification. You don't need to restart the cap count, but both employers must maintain compliant payroll during the overlap period.
