Senior Product Designer

About dlthub

dltHub is built on dlt, the most widely adopted open-source Python library for data loading with ~4 Million monthly downloads. We are building the next generation of AI-native data tooling on top of our strong OSS foundation.

We move and iterate fast, and ship with a strong bias toward experimentation, automation and user-centric AI workflows. We’re a highly dynamic, fast-moving team founded by experienced data and ML engineers, with roots in Berlin and a growing presence in the US. 

Founded by experienced data and ML engineers, we're backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundation Capital, Dig Ventures,  and technical founders from Hugging Face, Instanta, Matillion, Miro, MotherDuck, DataDog, Mode, LanceDB and Rasa. Our team is driven by clear values: we speak with courage, build what matters, automate relentlessly, show up with energy, deliver on commitments, and win together.
