Role overview
Lead a team building a trusted enterprise data warehouse and analytics platform across multiple business domains. The warehouse is already in production, with a lakehouse, extensive transformation models and tests, BI semantic models, and governed self-service analytics. The initial focus is operational measurement, followed by a repeatable approach to extending the warehouse. This is a hands‑on management role, with roughly half the time spent designing models, coding, and reviewing engineering work.
Responsibilities
- Design and evolve conformed dimensional models, setting standards for grain and consistency across new models.
- Build and operate Databricks ETL/ELT pipelines with incremental loads, data contracts, and orchestration.
- Develop governed metrics and semantic models for dashboards, reports, and natural‑language analytics.
- Turn operational KPI definitions into certified metrics, reconcile them to source data, and deliver them through dashboards and self‑service.
- Maintain data quality through tests, reconciliation, freshness and anomaly monitoring, service objectives, and CI/CD.
- Lead the migration of dbt orchestration to Airflow while preserving data freshness.
- Set technical plans with Product and business partners, and manage, coach, and hire analytics engineers and BI analysts.
Requirements
- 10+ years in data warehousing, data engineering, or analytics engineering, including 3+ years as a hands‑on engineering manager.
- Deep dimensional modeling expertise, including fact types, conformed and slowly changing dimensions, bridge tables, and bus matrices; experience owning a multi‑source enterprise warehouse in production.
- Advanced SQL and dbt skills, including performance tuning, models, tests, macros, packages, and CI.
- Production Databricks experience with Spark SQL, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and medallion architecture; deep Snowflake or BigQuery experience is also considered.
- Experience building governed semantic layers and BI models; Power BI and DAX are preferred.
- Background designing production pipelines with incremental loads, snapshots or CDC, an orchestrator such as Airflow, and Python.
- Strength in data quality practices and in explaining technical decisions and trade‑offs to business partners.
Nice to have
- Healthcare claims or payment integrity data, operational KPI development, LLM‑based self‑service analytics, or experience leading teams across time zones.
Benefits and work setup
- Remote work from anywhere in the United States.
- Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families, flexible time off, equity, and a 401(k) with employer match.
The listed base salary range is $220,000–$260,000.
