Staff Business Analytics Engineer

Proofpoint•Sunnyvale, CA
•Hybrid

About The Position

Proofpoint is building a governed analytical foundation while consolidating its Snowflake platform, integrating an acquired business, and moving toward AI-native analytics. The role owns the analytical and semantic layer in Snowflake: governed data models, metric logic, and the context between raw data and business consumers. Upstream ingestion and pipelines are owned by IT and Data Engineering; this role partners with those teams to define analytical requirements, interfaces, validation standards, and data models for consistent downstream use. As a senior-level individual contributor reporting to the Senior Director, Business Analytics, you will translate Finance-approved definitions into durable, auditable, machine-readable assets for dashboards, self-service tools, and AI agents. You will work with business-facing teams and the Senior Director who owns ARR/NARR definitions, understanding the business decisions behind recurring questions and turning them into reusable analytical assets. The position is hybrid and based at Proofpoint’s Sunnyvale, California headquarters, with four days per week onsite. Success includes implementing governed ARR, NARR, and retention metrics; moving priority use cases to shared, tested data assets; delivering an initial AI-native capability with consistent, governed answers; establishing acquired-business integration requirements and mappings; and reducing manual reconciliation and redundant analytical work.

Requirements

  • At least 8 years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, business intelligence, or data architecture, including substantial hands-on ownership of production analytical models.
  • Advanced SQL skills and deep expertise in dimensional and semantic modeling on a modern cloud data platform.
  • Experience building enterprise BI and governed self-service reporting at scale.
  • Experience implementing governed business metrics, reconciliation controls, and consistent analytical definitions across enterprise reporting environments.
  • Ability to start from the business question, understand the decision a metric supports and the consequences of errors, and clarify why its definition is what it is.
  • Track record of leading technical initiatives across teams without formal authority and translating ambiguous business requirements into architecture.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with technical and finance/business stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience with Snowflake, Power BI, and dbt.
  • Experience with SaaS or recurring-revenue metrics such as ARR, retention, and cohorts.
  • Hands-on experience with semantic layers, metric stores, or context layers designed for LLM or agent consumption, such as Cortex Analyst, dbt Semantic Layer, or Cube.
  • Transferable depth and demonstrated curiosity in AI-native analytics; the posting notes that this area is new for everyone and does not require years of experience.
  • Experience integrating acquired-company data into enterprise models.
  • Familiarity with CRM, ERP, and financial planning systems as analytical sources.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build governed analytical data models and a semantic layer in Snowflake, translating approved ARR, NARR, retention, and customer-lifecycle definitions into reusable, versioned calculation logic.
  • Create a machine-readable metric and context registry so definitions, relationships, and calculations are interpreted consistently across Power BI, self-service tools, and AI-driven interfaces.
  • Integrate acquired businesses into the governed metric layer, including entity mapping, definition reconciliation, and historical restatement.
  • Design and implement AI-native analytical capabilities using Snowflake’s Cortex ecosystem and governed semantic models; evaluate approaches for reliable natural-language and agent-based access and recommend how they can scale on the standardized platform.
  • Evolve Power BI from fragmented functional reporting toward integrated cross-functional views connecting commercial activity, product performance, and financial outcomes.
  • Implement reconciliation, validation, lineage, and monitoring controls to make analytical outputs reproducible, traceable, and suitable for financial reporting governance and audit support.
  • Set technical standards and reusable patterns for modeling, dbt usage, testing, and documentation so analysts and engineering partners can work consistently without central bottlenecks.
  • Identify upstream data-quality and architectural issues and drive their resolution with system owners.
  • Partner with IT and Data Engineering to establish analytical requirements, interfaces, validation standards, and data models for downstream consumption.
  • Work with business-facing teams and the owner of ARR/NARR definitions to understand business questions and turn recurring needs into reusable assets.
