[Hiring] Technical Lead, Data Analytics @Arkatechture

Role Description

Technical Lead | SQL | Snowflake | Tableau | AWS

At Arkatechture, we believe data should empower better decisions. Since 2012, we've partnered with financial institutions across the country to solve complex data challenges through modern analytics, cloud technologies, and AI-powered solutions.

We're looking for an experienced technical leader who is passionate about solving complex data problems, mentoring others, and helping customers unlock the full potential of their data. If you enjoy writing SQL one minute, architecting a cloud data solution the next, and coaching teammates along the way, we'd love to meet you.

As the Technical Lead, Data Analytics, you'll serve as the senior technical expert for a portfolio of enterprise customers while helping shape the future of our Support Services team.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a people manager who occasionally reviews code. You'll spend much of your time solving challenging SQL and cloud data platform problems, partnering directly with customers, mentoring analysts, and driving technical excellence across the organization.

While this role is expected to grow into formal people leadership, your technical expertise, problem-solving ability, and customer partnership skills are what will make you successful from day one.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience working with SQL in production environments
• Deep expertise with relational databases and cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, SQL Server, Oracle, Redshift, Synapse, BigQuery, or similar)
• Strong experience designing, troubleshooting, and optimizing data warehouses and analytics solutions
• Experience with Tableau and Power BI
• A strong understanding of data modeling, ELT processes, and modern analytics architecture
• Exceptional analytical and troubleshooting skills
• Outstanding communication skills and the ability to build trusted customer relationships
• Experience mentoring teammates or serving as a technical leader
• Experience with Agile development practices and tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket
• Experience with any of the following is a plus: Professional Python experience, experience supporting cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), financial services, banking, or credit union technology, customer-facing consulting or technical support leadership, modern data engineering and cloud architecture, data governance or data quality initiatives, AI or machine learning technologies

Requirements

• Serve as the senior technical resource for our Business Intelligence and Data Analytics Support team.
• Lead the investigation and resolution of complex customer issues involving data, analytics, and cloud platforms.
• Perform root cause analysis and implement scalable, long-term solutions—not just quick fixes.
• Review SQL and BI object changes while promoting development best practices.
• Mentor and coach analysts, helping elevate the technical capabilities of the entire team.
• Identify opportunities for automation and continuous improvement across support processes.
• Lead root cause analysis meetings as necessary to dig into any thematic issues that crop up and how we can mitigate them.
• Help customers maximize the value of Arkatechture's analytics platform through technical guidance and best practices.
• Partner closely with Customer Success to improve customer satisfaction, retention, and platform adoption.
• Support customer meetings by offering technical expertise, hold office hours, expand upon Knowledge Base articles and Learning Management System training for customers.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Design, develop, troubleshoot, and optimize complex SQL solutions.
• Troubleshoot ELT processes, data pipelines, and BI reporting environments.
• Monitor and resolve issues with Tableau and Power BI dashboards and scheduled refreshes.
• Collaborate across Engineering, Customer Success, and Product teams to deliver scalable customer solutions.

Benefits

• Flexible remote work with optional access to our Portland, Maine office
• Four-day work week after three years of service
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
• Medical, disability, life insurance, and optional dental and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Generous paid time off and paid holidays
• Professional development and certification reimbursement
• Opportunities to influence our technical direction while continuing to grow your own expertise
