You'll design and optimize data models, build robust data pipelines, and ensure high-quality, accessible data for stakeholders across the company. If you love working with SQL, dbt, and Python, and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you.

What You Will Do:

Design, develop, and maintain core data models in dbt and SQL, ensuring consistency, accuracy, performance, and appropriate levels of normalization to meet business and technical needs.
Build and maintain data pipelines to ingest, transform, and serve data efficiently, leveraging tools like dbt and Airflow.
Collaborate with engineers, product managers, business stake holders to define key business metrics and ensure seamless data access.
Enable self-service analytics by creating clear documentation and supporting teams in using data effectively.
Ensure data quality and reliability by implementing monitoring systems and designing processes that maintain long-term data integrity.
Drive efficiency and cost effectiveness by building performant models that optimize cloud data usage.
