Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain data models and transformation pipelines using dbt and Snowflake within established architectural patterns.
• Develop and optimize SQL queries and transformations to support reporting, analytics, and operational needs.
• Own assigned work from requirements gathering through development, validation, deployment, and ongoing support.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate analytical needs into accurate, well-structured datasets and metrics.
• Partner with data engineers to integrate new data sources and troubleshoot upstream dependencies.
• Develop and maintain dbt models, macros, automated tests, and documentation using modular, reusable development practices.
• Investigate and resolve data quality issues, troubleshoot transformation failures, and improve query and model performance.
• Contribute to shared metric definitions and semantic layers to support consistent reporting across business units and analytics tools.
• Maintain data definitions, documentation, and lineage to support governance and self-service analytics.
• Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing, applying team standards and providing constructive feedback.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to support SQL development, troubleshooting, testing, and documentation, validating generated code and results before use.
• Communicate progress, dependencies, and risks clearly, seeking guidance when complexity or ambiguity requires additional support.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in analytics engineering, data modeling, business intelligence, or a related data role.
• Strong SQL skills, including complex joins, window functions, aggregations, and query troubleshooting and optimization.
• Hands-on experience with dbt, including modular models, testing, documentation, and basic Jinja.
• Experience with Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse.
• Working knowledge of dimensional modeling, dataset grain, and table relationships.
• Experience using Git, pull requests, and collaborative code review workflows.
• Understanding of data quality, automated testing, documentation, governance, and data lineage principles.
• Ability to independently deliver well-defined work, clarify ambiguous requirements, and troubleshoot data issues.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar technologies.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Attention to detail, curiosity, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with semantic layers, shared metric definitions, or data contracts.
• Experience with modern BI tools such as Sigma, Omni, Tableau, Power BI, or Looker.
• Familiarity with data ingestion and integration tools such as Fivetran or Matia.
• Familiarity with CI/CD workflows and automated deployment of analytics code.
