Our stakeholders range from finance to operations, customer success, and the executive team, necessitating varying data availability (from monthly to near-real-time) and integrity (up to cent-level precision). You will be working alongside our Data Engineers who drive the ingress of the data and the infrastructure of the Lakehouse and related services, and Data Scientists who consume the data models and augment them with new features.

- Seamlessly integrate the Lakehouse with BI tooling to create repeatable ways of surfacing metrics to end users.
- Set a high standard for development practices, ensuring quality in new data models and their orchestration.
- Collaborate closely with finance, operations, customer success, and marketing teams to meet data modeling needs.

- Experience building scalable transformation layers, preferably through formalized SQL models (e.g., dbt).
- Experience in Python for transformations beyond SQL.
- Experience with CI/CD and code version control.
- Strong hands-on experience with relational databases (e.g., Postgres, Iceberg), including query optimization.
- Ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment and tailor solutions to evolving business needs.
- Experience with ETL technologies for ingestion (e.g., Airbyte) and orchestration (e.g., Airflow).
- Experience working in a cloud environment (AWS or GCP).
