## About the Role

7+ years in BI/analytics engineering with production Looker/LookML experience (models, explores, derived tables, PDTs, access filters) - not just dashboard consumption
4+ years of advanced SQL in Snowflake or a comparable cloud warehouse (window functions, incremental merge patterns, query performance tuning)
Direct experience with retail/ecommerce data models: order lifecycle, fulfillment, inventory, returns, customer/CDP data - ideally spanning a DTC platform (Shopify/BigCommerce/Salesforce Commerce) plus an ERP (NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP)
Experience working within a vendor-managed or templated ELT/transformation framework (Daasity, Fivetran + dbt, Matillion, or similar) - comfortable extending vendor patterns without introducing untracked one-offs
Recent Retail / Ecommerce Experience

 * Recent experience supporting a retail, direct-to-consumer (DTC), or ecommerce business.
 * Preferred backgrounds include online retail, apparel, fashion, consumer products, and Shopify-based organizations.
 * Strong understanding of ecommerce metrics, customer behavior, and retail reporting.

Hands-on experience owning and managing the Looker semantic layer.
Strong expertise in developing and maintaining:
LookML Models

Must have experience building and optimizing data models within Looker.
Candidates whose experience is limited to dashboard consumption or report usage will not be considered.
Startup / High-Growth Environment Experience

 * Recent experience working within a smaller, fast-paced company environment.
 * Comfortable operating with limited structure and taking ownership of projects.
 * Ability to adapt quickly and manage multiple priorities.
 * Candidates with experience primarily in large enterprise environments may not be the best fit.
