Job summary

GoodHabitz in Amsterdam is expanding its Product Data function. You’ll be the Analytics Engineer, anchoring governance, trusted models, and standard practices across the data estate, using Databricks with dbt and collaborating with product and business stakeholders on what to measure and why.

You’ll own the event taxonomy, metrics catalog, and data quality gates, enabling self-serve analytics and scalable insights across a fast-growing EdTech company.

Qualifications

• Production-level experience with SQL and dbt, and Git workflow.
• Experience with dimensional modelling and semantic layers.
• Experience building a tracking plan or event taxonomy with engineering.
• A track record of building enforcement processes such as data contracts, CI validation or DoD gates.
• Comfort translating ambiguous product and business questions into clear, durable measurement definitions.
• Experience with Databricks/Unity Catalog, B2B SaaS multi-surface products, or data observability tooling is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Build trust in the data estate. Assess the Databricks estate, define trust levels, and propose owners for each source and table.
• Model with dbt. Build and version silver-to-gold transformations with dimensional modelling and a semantic layer, designing point-in-time dimensions that preserve history.
• Own the event taxonomy. Design and roll out one event taxonomy and naming convention, partnering with engineering to govern it as a shared contract.
• Define shared metrics. Own the metric catalog and sign-off process, and build activation, engagement and retention models leadership can steer by.
• Enable self-serve. Build semantic models and documentation that let product and business teams answer their own questions.
• Enforce quality. Set data quality standards, build sign-off into a Definition of Done gate, and monitor instrumentation to catch issues early.

Job description

About this role:

GoodHabitz is building an activation-first product strategy, and the Product Data function is being built from the ground up. As Analytics Engineer, you’ll be the discipline’s technical backbone, establishing governed, trustworthy models across the data estate and setting the standards the function will run on. You’ll work hands-on in Databricks with dbt, partnering closely with the data engineer on modelling and with product and business stakeholders on what to measure and why. This role reports to the Product Data Lead.

Role responsibilities:

• Build trust in the data estate. Assess the Databricks estate, define trust levels, and propose owners for each source and table.

• Model with dbt. Build and version silver-to-gold transformations with dimensional modelling and a semantic layer, designing point-in-time dimensions that preserve history.

• Own the event taxonomy. Design and roll out one event taxonomy and naming convention, partnering with engineering to govern it as a shared contract.

• Define shared metrics. Own the metric catalog and sign-off process, and build activation, engagement and retention models leadership can steer by.

• Enable self-serve. Build semantic models and documentation that let product and business teams answer their own questions.

• Enforce quality. Set data quality standards, build sign-off into a Definition of Done gate, and monitor instrumentation to catch issues early.

This role is for you if you have:

• Production-level experience with SQL and dbt (or equivalent), with Git as a working habit

• Experience with dimensional modelling and semantic layers

• Experience building a tracking plan or event taxonomy in partnership with engineering

• A track record of building enforcement processes such as data contracts, CI validation or DoD gates, not just writing standards

• Comfort translating ambiguous product and business questions into clear, durable measurement definitions

• Experience with Databricks/Unity Catalog, B2B SaaS multi-surface products, or data observability tooling is a plus

This role is not for you if:

• You'd rather work within an established data estate than build governance and standards from scratch

• You treat a standard as finished once it's written, rather than building the mechanism that makes it stick

• You prefer one-off fixes over designing models built for reuse across a fragmented estate

• You're not comfortable being the first to define "how we do this here" and holding the line once it's set
