## Description

We're looking for a Sr. Data Modeler to design and govern the data models that serve as the foundation for analytics, reporting, and business intelligence across the organization - with particular depth in semantic and metrics-layer modeling. Beyond traditional schema design, you'll build the semantic layer that sits between raw data and downstream consumers (dashboards, reverse-ETL syncs, AI-assisted querying), working closely with data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to keep definitions consistent everywhere they're used., * Contribute to the semantic layer strategy - defining metrics, dimensions, and business logic once so they're consistent across BI tools, reverse-ETL syncs, and AI-assisted querying

 * Design serving-layer models as the "source of truth" for business definitions, resolving ambiguity before it reaches dashboards
 * Build and govern semantic views/metrics layers (e.g., Snowflake semantic views, dbt metrics/semantic layer) that let analysts and AI tools query curated data without re-deriving business logic
 * Partner directly with analytics and BI consumers to understand how models get used downstream, and iterate on semantic definitions based on real query patterns
 * Reduce metric drift by auditing existing reports/dashboards for divergent definitions of the same business concept and consolidating them into governed semantic models
