Analytics Engineer

About The Position

Look, we’ve already done the hard part. We’ve scrubbed our data until it sparkles like a fresh pair of "Flamingos on a Booze Cruise" sunnies. We’ve got a warehouse that’s cleaner than Carl’s private cabana, and our database models are purring like a kitten in a sunbeam. But here’s the thing: a clean house is no fun if you can't find the snacks. We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer who looks at a Star Schema and sees a work of art. We need someone who doesn’t just "do data"—we need someone who wants to take our existing, pristine data tables and dance with them. If you get a tingly feeling in your soul when a Fact table and a Dimension table join perfectly on a primary key, you’re in the right place. We aren’t looking for a "Data Janitor" to mop up spills; we’re looking for an Architect of Insight who can walk into our beautifully designed data neighborhood, learn the street names, and start building skyscrapers of logic on top of it. Are you ready to be the keeper of the Schema? To protect the purity of our cleaned data? To ensure our metrics stay as polarized as our lenses? Then read on!
