Responsibilities
- Design, build, and optimize modular dbt pipelines and performant technical schemas, setting the team standard for version control, unit testing, and velocity
- Act as a critical technical bridge between Analytics, Operations, and Data Engineering to transform ambiguous product requirements into robust data assets
- Diagnose performance bottlenecks to slash query latencies and lower warehouse compute costs across our modern data platforms, specifically aiding our strategic migration toward Snowflake
- Elevate the entire pod’s engineering culture by participating in rigorous peer code reviews, refactoring legacy technical debt, and enforcing strict data security standards up to the point of delivery
- Actively mentor and pair with junior peers to unblock complex bugs, optimize engineering workflows, and natively adopt AI-assisted development tools to accelerate test generation and legacy code discovery
Skills
- 4+ years of professional experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or highly technical data analytics roles
- Expert-level SQL proficiency and deep data modeling experience, with a proven ability to write performant queries and understand the architectural trade-offs of database design decisions
- 2+ years of dedicated, hands-on experience building, deploying, and maintaining modular data pipelines using dbt in a production environment
- Proven experience designing schemas and optimizing query performance on modern cloud data platforms (such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery)
- Absolute comfort with production git workflows (branching, merging, pull request reviews) and automated data quality testing practices
- Experience working in a cross-functional role partnering directly with analytics, operations, or business teams, where strong requirement-gathering and the ability to translate complex data structures into clear documentation are crucial
- Prior experience working with HIPAA-compliant data environments, electronic health records (EHR), digital health operations, or similar highly regulated industries
- Hands-on experience or deep familiarity with Snowflake architectures and running data migrations to Snowflake environments
- Active experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Claude Code) to accelerate code generation, decipher legacy warehouse logic, and draft robust dbt test suites
- Experience with Fivetran or modern ingestion tools to deeply understand upstream data structures and better collaborate with the core data engineering pod
- A proactive approach to data quality, testing, and alert frameworks (such as dbt test packages) and building practical alerting workflows rather than just waiting for stakeholders to report broken data
- Experience managing changing business processes or schema drift when underlying logic or systems pivot unexpectedly
- Basic Python proficiency providing an extra layer of technical agility when collaborating on advanced pipeline orchestration or tooling
