Job description

  • Own a scoped domain of dbt models: design, build, test, ship, and monitor them, with a clear point of view on how they should be structured

  • Write the design doc for the features you own and break the work into pieces teammates can pick up
  • Add monitoring and alerting to your models so your team catches problems before stakeholders do
  • Take your turn on our support rotation, debug what breaks, and prevent the repeat
  • Leave behind runbooks, schema docs, and diagrams that make your work easy for the next person to own
  • Coach engineers earlier in their careers on the team, in code review and day to day, * Marketing, growth, or lifecycle data: events, attribution, experimentation, or tools like Braze, Iterable, or Segment
  • Dagster, Airflow, or another modern orchestrator
  • CI/CD for data, data governance, or cost-conscious warehouse design
