About you

You are an experienced Analytics Engineer, Data Engineer, or technical IC who enjoys building data systems that are not only technically strong, but also understandable, maintainable, and useful for the teams who rely on them.

• Hands‑on experience designing, building, and maintaining production‑grade data models, pipelines, or analytical data products at scale.
• Strong understanding of analytics engineering principles, including testing, documentation, lineage, data quality, observability, reliability, and operational excellence at scale.
• Demonstrated ability to define technical standards, reusable patterns, and architectural guardrails that improve quality and consistency across teams.
• Strong strategic and systems‑thinking mindset, with the ability to spot dependencies, intersections, long‑term risks, and repeated patterns across complex business areas.
• Ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams or domains without relying only on formal authority.
• Comfort working with ambiguity and translating complex problems into clear technical direction, standards, and next steps.
• Ability to balance local delivery needs with long‑term architectural integrity and DSA‑wide impact.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain architectural trade‑offs, technical decisions, and strategic priorities clearly.
• A collaborative mentoring mindset and a passion for raising the technical bar for other ICs.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

• Strong practical knowledge of query performance, and cloud cost governance.
• Experience with orchestration tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or similar.
• Foundational understanding of event‑driven data systems.
• Comfortable working with Feature Stores, and ML facing workloads.
• Experience with BI and reporting tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar.
