• Education: BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).

Responsibilities

• Architect the Vision: Define and execute the long-term roadmap for analytics engineering, data architecture, and BI, ensuring our data stack scales with the business.

• Set the Gold Standard: Own the evolution of our SQL-based data modeling and warehouse optimization strategies to ensure peak performance and reliability.
• Scale with dbt: Lead the strategic adoption of dbt, championing modular design, rigorous testing, and comprehensive documentation across all data domains.
• Build Trusted Assets: Oversee the lifecycle of data transformations to ensure every asset is governed, reusable, and serves as a "single source of truth."
• Operational Excellence: Institutionalize elite engineering standards for code reviews, CI/CD, monitoring, and proactive incident management.
• Strategic Liaison: Act as the primary point of accountability for BI outcomes, working alongside C-suite and VP-level stakeholders to prioritize high-value initiatives.
• Evangelize Data: Foster a data-driven culture by ensuring data assets are discoverable, well-documented, and championed across the organization.
