• Partner directly with solution teams to translate business needs into well-defined, reusable data models
• Define and enforce modeling standards, conventions, and layer contracts
• Standardize identifiers and business logic early in the transformation layer to reduce downstream complexity
• Centralize shared business rules and definitions to enable consistent, trusted analytics
• Explore and apply AI-assisted approaches, to improve analytics workflows

Qualifications

• Strong expertise in SQL and analytics data modeling
• 5+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or a related role
• Hands-on experience designing analytics layers in BigQuery and dbt
• Proven ability to create analyst-friendly data models with clear structure and predictable behavior
• Experience setting standards and influencing how data is modeled and consumed across teams
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Bonus Points

• Experience working in a distributed or remote-first environment
• Familiarity with metric definitions, or semantic layers
• Experience applying AI or automation to analytics or data modeling workflows
