Analytics Engineer III, Assurance
About The Position
The Analytics Engineer III on the ACV Assurance team is a skilled practitioner who transforms raw data into trusted, decision-ready models and reports that drive the business forward. Sitting at the intersection of data engineering and business intelligence, this role contributes across the full analytics stack - from dbt model design and data quality to Omni BI dashboards - and partners with the Assurance Business to surface insights on arbitration risk and product initiatives. A key objective of this role is reducing ad-hoc analytical bottlenecks over time. You will be expected to answer urgent business questions quickly and directly, while systematically building the underlying dbt models, metric definitions, and BI layer in a way that enables self-serve analytics - including AI-assisted querying - so that business stakeholders can answer common questions themselves.
Requirements
- BA/BS in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or related
- 3+ years of professional experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or BI
- Hands-on production experience with dbt (model design, testing, documentation, incremental strategies)
- Expert-level SQL; comfortable with window functions, complex joins, and query optimization in BigQuery or a comparable cloud warehouse
- Experience delivering analytical initiatives independently, from scoping through stakeholder presentation
- Experience with Git-based version control workflows
- Excellent communicator with a strong attention to detail; genuinely curious about the business and willing to dig into the specifics to get things right
- Collaborative, low-ego, and invested in the team's collective output
- Strong instinct for knowing when to answer quickly vs. when to build properly
- Communicates analytical findings clearly to non-technical audiences
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity
Nice To Haves
- Master's or Ph.D. a plus, but offset by demonstrated experience and a deep toolbox
- Proficiency building semantic layers; Omni or Looker BI experience preferred, but similar experience considered
- Experience with Google Cloud Platform
- Familiarity with AI-assisted analytics or developer workflows
- Experience with binary classification and/or loss forecasting
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain dbt models (staging, intermediate, production layers) that serve as the single source of truth for Assurance KPIs, with machine-readability in mind
- Enforce data quality through dbt tests, source freshness checks, and documentation so downstream consumers can trust what they see
- Write complex SQL transformations on large datasets; optimize for cost and performance
- Translate business questions into well-scoped analytical requirements; define metrics in collaboration with Assurance stakeholders and keep definitions governed in our semantic layer
- Build upon our Omni BI semantic layer, enabling self-serve chat and dealer-facing embedded reporting
- Balance responsiveness to ad-hoc requests while optimizing via building: triage what should be answered once vs. what should be codified so stakeholders or AI tools can self-serve it in the future
- Deliver clear, compelling data narratives to non-technical stakeholders; support follow-on questions and iterate quickly
- Support the business in developing data, predictive, and forecasting models that identify high-risk dealer and vehicle populations to support program management strategy
- Develop dealer-facing dashboards that illustrate their arbitration trends over time
- Execute scoped projects with general guidance: define approach and timelines with input from a manager or senior team member, and drive day-to-day execution independently
- Deliver data-driven recommendations
- Navigate competing priorities across multiple stakeholder groups; propose win-win solutions when technical requirements conflict
Benefits
- Company Sponsored (paid) Healthcare, Dental, Vision, Life/AD&D, Short-Term and Long-Term Disability.
- Comprehensive additional optional benefits such Critical Illness and Supplemental Life/AD&D.
- All insurance benefits go into effect on your date of hire.
- Generous Parental Leave Top-Up Pay and Vacation Programs.
- Employee Stock Purchase Program with additional opportunities to earn stock in the company.
- Retirement planning through the Company’s RRSP.
