## About the Role

* 7+ years of combined experience across analytics engineering, data engineering, or analytics roles with substantial modeling ownership

 * Data modeling / dimensional modeling fluency - you can design schemas from fuzzy requirements, not just query what exists

 * Cloud data warehouse experience - Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or equivalent
 * Orchestration engine familiarity - Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, or equivalent
 * BI / Visualization layer familiarity - Metabase, Hex, Looker, Tableau, or similar

You don't need depth in all of these, but if the work sounds like yours, please apply.
Bonus experience we're also interested in:

 * Platform-level experience - working with tools like Terraform / infra-as-code, DMS / CDC, data lake patterns, and data observability
 * Experience with financial, payments, or otherwise regulated data - it shortens the learning ramp.

 * Go a layer down into data ingestion, orchestration, or warehouse configuration when warranted, or go a layer up into analysis and decision support when needed
