 * CI/CD experience in a data context - dbt test gates, PR-triggered runs, or equivalent pipeline automation
 * Solid understanding of data modelling concepts - star schema, slowly changing dimensions, metric normalisation
 * Strong communication skills - you can present data findings to non-technical audiences and translate vague business questions into clear model briefs

## Description

As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you will own end-to-end analytics delivery - from well-governed dbt data models through to polished Tableau dashboards or AI solutions consumed by business leaders across Revenue, Customer Success, and Product.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role with balanced accountability across transformation and delivery. You'll spend roughly half your time on dbt model development and half on Tableau dashboard delivery and business stakeholder engagement - the bridge between our Analytics Engineering platform and the business teams who rely on it. You'll collaborate closely with our AE community in Austin and the Philippines, aligning data models and metrics to real business requirements.

The right candidate is equally comfortable writing production-grade dbt SQL and sitting with a senior stakeholder to translate a business question into a data product. You bring craft to both sides of that equation.

This is a highly autonomous role within a rapidly evolving analytics function. Success will require curiosity, initiative and the ability to bring structure, energy, and innovative thinking to ambiguous problem., * Design, build, and maintain dbt data models (Staging, Intermediate, Mart layers) following SolarWinds modelling standards, with a focus on consumption-ready, well-tested data products

 * Deliver high-quality Tableau dashboards and self-serve analytics assets for business teams across Revenue, Customer Success, Finance, and Product - from requirements through to stakeholder sign-off
 * Own the Tableau-to-dbt integration layer: consume MetricFlow semantic layer definitions in Tableau Cloud, ensuring metrics are consistent, governed, and aligned with company-wide standards
 * Partner directly with stakeholders across assigned business domains to translate ambiguous business problems into scalable analytical solutions, proactively identifying gaps in requirements, aligning stakeholders, and driving clarity on metrics, logic and desired outcomes
 * Champion data quality - write dbt tests, enforce delivery SLAs, and embed lineage documentation as standard practice
 * Lead and run CI/CD processes for your dbt models - branch-based development, PR reviews, and automated test gates
 * Support and mentor junior and mid-level analysts, promoting best practices in SQL, dbt modelling, and Tableau development
 * Contribute to the rollout of self-serve analytics enablement programmes for business users, reducing dependency on direct analyst requests
