Senior Analytics Engineer
Summary
Senior Analytics Engineer responsible for building and owning the dbt transformation layer on a new cloud data warehouse. The role involves designing dimensional models for finance, compliance, and product teams using SQL, dbt, and orchestration tools like Airflow or Dagster to drive advanced analytics across the organization.
- Own the transformation layer, including dimensional models, tests, and documentation, as we stand up dbt on a new warehouse
- Turn business questions into durable models. Not all work arrives fully specified, so you’ll turn ambiguity into structure and set patterns the team builds against.
- Partner with finance, compliance, and product to define requirements, data definitions, and what “correct” means in our business context
- Monitor what you build, catching and resolving or escalating issues before our stakeholders notice
- Go a layer down into data ingestion, orchestration, or warehouse configuration when warranted, or go a layer up into analysis and decision support when needed
- 7+ years of combined experience across analytics engineering, data engineering, or analytics roles with substantial modeling ownership
- Strong analytical SQL skills - complex joins, window functions, performance-aware queries
- Data modeling / dimensional modeling fluency - you can design schemas from fuzzy requirements, not just query what exists
- Transformation framework experience - dbt preferred, with Dataform, SQLMesh, or equivalent acceptable
- Cloud data warehouse experience - Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or equivalent
- Orchestration engine familiarity - Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, or equivalent
- BI / Visualization layer familiarity - Metabase, Hex, Looker, Tableau, or similar
- Engineering hygiene - Git, CI/CD, testing, documentation
- Stakeholder range - you can sit with a finance or compliance lead, ask questions to get to requirements, and leave with a definition you can build against
- Platform-level experience - working with tools like Terraform / infra-as-code, DMS / CDC, data lake patterns, and data observability
- Experience with financial, payments, or otherwise regulated data - it shortens the learning ramp.
