Senior Finance Analytics Engineer, AI Native
About The Position
Life360 is seeking a Senior Finance Analytics Engineer to join their AI-native Finance Data Team. This role focuses on data modeling, reporting, and designing data products for consumption by both humans and AI agents. The team emphasizes semantic clarity, metadata quality, and documentation across tools like dbt, Databricks, Confluence, and a semantic layer. The position is a senior individual contributor role, reporting to the Senior Manager of Finance Analytics Engineering, and involves designing dbt models, semantic layers, metrics definitions, documentation, and testing, while also contributing to AI-native development capabilities. The role requires understanding how agents consume data and documentation to design accordingly. The company is remote-first, with this position being US-based.
Requirements
- 4+ years of analytics engineering experience, including deep hands-on work with dbt (dbt core strongly preferred).
- 4+ years of SQL experience in an MPP environment (Databricks, Snowflake, Redshift, Trino, or equivalent), with a strong track record of writing performant and maintainable transformations.
- 1+ years designing data products for AI consumption: semantic layer work, MetricFlow or Cube, metrics definitions, model contracts, or documentation patterns built with LLM consumers in mind.
- Hands-on experience using Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent AI-enabled development tools as part of your daily workflow.
- Strong command of semantic modeling and metrics layer design.
- Designing dbt projects at scale: model organization, testing strategy, documentation standards, model versioning, and contracts.
- Familiarity with MCP servers and how agents consume warehouse data and metadata, enough to design models and docs that work well for both humans and agents.
- Strong written communication: you can write documentation that a stakeholder, a teammate, or an LLM can all use effectively.
- Finance or Accounting domain experience.
Nice To Haves
- Working in a SOX-controlled environment with formal change management.
- 1+ years of Python for scripting, API integration, and automation.
- 1+ years of Airflow.
- Databricks platform specifically, including Unity Catalog.
- Familiarity with Terraform, GitHub Actions, or Atlantis for infrastructure and CI/CD.
Responsibilities
- Design and build dbt models that serve as the source of truth for Finance & Accounting reporting, planning, and analysis.
- Partner directly with stakeholders in Finance, Accounting, Revenue, and FP&A to define metrics, shape requirements, and translate business logic into well-structured models.
- Write and optimize complex SQL against our Databricks environment with attention to accuracy.
- Uphold and evolve patterns for model design, testing, versioning, and data contracts across the dbt project.
- Design the semantic layer and metrics definitions (MetricFlow, Cube, or equivalent) that both humans and agents query against.
- Drive the documentation flywheel across dbt, Databricks, Confluence, and the semantic layer so that models, columns, and metrics are legible to LLMs and analysts alike.
- Design model grain, naming, and structure so an agent can find what it needs in the warehouse without a human guide.
- Use AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, and our internal capabilities) as a daily part of your own development workflow, and feed real signal back to the team on what design choices make agents more or less effective.
- Build and operate within our SOX-controlled CI/CD environment, with no direct human touches to production.
- Maintain documentation and auditability of the data pipelines you own.
- Participate in code review and approval workflows for SOX-controlled change management.
