  • Design and manage large-scale data warehouses, lakehouses, and/or data marts
  • Build and optimize data transformation pipelines using tools like dbt to support data flow from ingestion through analytics
  • Champion data governance principles and quality standards, ensuring data lineage, documentation, and metadata are maintained
  • Create efficient, performant SQL-based data queries and Python-based data processing jobs
  • Demonstrate ability to balance computational load, performance, and cost

Skills you bring:

  • Advanced Degree in Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Data Science, Computer Science, Operations Research or other closely related other quantitative or mathematical disciplines.
  • 5+ years of data and analytics engineering in cloud environments
  • Expertise in SQL, Python, and schema design with experience in data cataloging and governance tools
  • Experienced with data transformation and ETL best practices
  • Experienced with data orchestration tools like Airflow, transformation frameworks like dbt, and cloud deployment tools like Terraform.
  • Demonstrated exceptional oral and written communication skills.
  • The ability to work independently and in a team environment.
  • The ability to work effectively across functions, levels and disciplines.
  • Strong problem solving and critical thinking skills.
  • Superior team-working skills, and a desire to learn, contribute, and explore.
  • Experience with Snowflake, Databricks, Kafka, Flume, Spark, or Flink is a plus
