• Architect semantic layers and BI infrastructure with focus on governance, discoverability, and self‑service; design LookML patterns and Explore structures that balance flexibility with guardrails
• Define and implement data quality frameworks including automated testing strategies (dbt tests, reconciliation checks, anomaly detection), observability patterns, and SLA monitoring
• Make principled architectural decisions on technology choices, materialization strategies, and optimization approaches (partitioning, clustering, incremental models, caching); balance performance, cost, and maintainability trade‑offs
• Establish code standards, review practices, and technical documentation patterns for the analytics team; mentor analysts on advanced SQL techniques, data modeling principles, and software engineering best practices

Complexity and Impact of Work

• Own the technical architecture for multiple domain areas end‑to‑end; ensure reporting meets audit, regulatory, and executive requirements
• Design and implement reporting systems that support external audits and regulatory examinations; establish audit trails, data lineage, and control frameworks that demonstrate effective oversight
• Lead resolution of complex data quality incidents and reconciliation breaks; perform root cause analysis across multiple systems, design permanent fixes, and implement preventive controls
• Drive strategic technical initiatives such as data platform migrations, BI tool consolidation, or implementation of new data governance frameworks; coordinate work across analytics, engineering, and business teams
• Anticipate future business needs and design data architectures that can evolve; balance solving immediate problems with building reusable, scalable infrastructure
• Establish metrics and monitoring for data quality, pipeline reliability, and reporting SLAs; drive continuous improvement in operational excellence

Organizational Knowledge

• Develop expert‑level understanding of Anchorage Digital’s business model, regulatory environment, and technical architecture; understand data flows across custody, staking, stablecoins, trading, and banking operations
• Build trusted advisor relationships with senior stakeholders in Finance, Trading, Risk, and executive leadership; become the go‑to technical expert for data architecture and reporting questions
• Partner with Data Platform engineers on infrastructure strategy; influence roadmap and design decisions for shared data services, tools, and platforms
• Mentor and develop analytics engineers on the team; provide technical guidance, conduct design reviews, and help team members grow their technical skills
• Document architectural decisions, design patterns, and domain knowledge; establish knowledge‑sharing practices that scale as the team grows
• Represent the analytics team in cross‑functional technical discussions; advocate for data quality, observability, and analytics engineering best practices

Communication and Influence

• Present complex technical architectures and design decisions to senior leadership and executive audiences; distill technical details into business impact and risk trade‑offs
• Lead design reviews and architectural discussions; facilitate consensus on contentious technical decisions; document rationale for future reference
• Work with external auditors and regulators to explain data architectures, reconciliation logic, and control frameworks; respond to technical questions with precision and transparency
• Write clear, comprehensive technical documentation including architecture decision records, data model specifications, and operational runbooks
• Influence technical culture and standards across the analytics organization; champion best practices for code quality, testing, and documentation
• Navigate difficult stakeholder conversations when requirements conflict with technical feasibility or best practices; propose alternative solutions and manage expectations effectively

Fit for this role

• 6+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or related roles with increasing responsibility for data architecture and technical leadership
• Expert‑level data modeling skills with proven ability to design dimensional models, establish modeling patterns, and make principled trade‑offs across multiple business domains
• Deep expertise in SQL and data transformation including advanced optimization, performance tuning, and writing maintainable, production‑quality code at scale
• Extensive experience with modern BI platforms (Looker strongly preferred) including semantic layer design, governance patterns, and building self‑serve analytics at scale
• Proven experience with dbt or similar transformation frameworks including establishing project structure, testing strategies, documentation patterns, and CI/CD workflows
