This approach enables more effective collaboration, quicker decision-making, and a stronger culture, while still providing flexibility. ## Description The Senior Engineer, Platform Analytics builds and operates the data pipelines and models behind Platform Analytics - the customer-facing analytics experience that delivers a single, trustworthy source of truth for the metrics customers use to measure learning progress. This is a deeply hands-on role focused on traditional data-engineering ELT - ingesting, curating, and modeling data into trusted, conformed datasets - while contributing to the target-state platform-analytics architecture. They partner closely with the engineers in the data org and use AI coding tools fluently to build faster and better. Who you're committed to being: * You enjoy learning and are open to new ways of doing things. * You are not afraid to be yourself, experiment, make mistakes and learn from them, ask questions, or voice your concerns. * When communicating you are self-aware, insightful, and proactive. * You are a team member first and individual contributor second. You are aware that high-performing teams are only as strong as their weakest link. * You believe in continuous improvement and request frequent feedback from others. What you'll do: * Build and operate the data pipelines that feed Platform Analytics - event ingestion and entity/reference ingestion into Snowflake - to a high standard of reliability and quality. * Build and operate the traditional data-engineering ELT to create a reliable source of truth in the data warehouse. * Contribute to the data models, curating and modeling source-system data into trusted, conformed datasets and applying dimensional modeling and engineering best practices. * Support production performance, reliability, and cost - performance tuning, monitoring and alerting, and resource management. * Help evolve the platform toward its target-state architecture, implementing the design and providing architectural and scale recommendations. * Lead the development lifecycle for your work - implementation, testing, and deployment - collaborating with the team to deliver and maintain the platform. * Help mentor junior engineers and contribute to team standards for code quality and ways of working. * Use AI coding tools productively in daily engineering work - accelerating development, testing, and debugging. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) - [AI Model Management Life Circles: ML Ops For Generative AI Models From Research to Deployment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1152-ai-model-management-life-circles-ml-ops-for-generative-ai-models-from-research-to-deployment) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
