Job Summary: RIS Rx is seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer to own the transformation and semantic layer that turns raw data in our Snowflake warehouse into trusted, documented, reusable models for analysts, dashboards, and downstream systems.

• Own data quality, freshness, and lineage for your area’s models, and respond to data incidents.
• Turn ambiguous business questions into models, and enable analysts and self-serve reporting in your area.
• Model with compliance as a requirement by applying minimum-necessary, and masking or aggregating PHI appropriately.
• Partner with data engineering (who land the raw data) and analysts (who consume it), and improve team practices.

Skills:

• 5+ years in analytics engineering, data, or a closely related role.
• Strong SQL and transformation modeling with dbt or an equivalent.
• Experience designing dimensional or semantic models and stewarding metric definitions.
• Analytics testing and CI/CD, with clear documentation habits.
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake (or a comparable cloud warehouse).
• Experience with governed or regulated data (PHI, minimum-necessary) preferred.
• Strong communication to translate business questions into models and explaining them clearly.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
