  • Design and build dimensional models (star schemas) that are intuitive, performant, and durable
  • Implement SCD Type 2 and other core warehousing patterns correctly and consistently

  • Implement semantic views in Snowflake to enable tools like Claude via MCP
  • Ensure data is traceable, explainable, and trustworthy

  • Introduce and enforce: Data quality testing and validation, Schema enforcement and regression safeguards, Clear promotion paths from dev → prod
  • Raise the bar on engineering discipline across the data function
  • Leverage AI as a Force Multiplier: Use AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining high standards

  • Ensure systems are understandable and maintainable by others
  • Other duties as assigned

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on data engineering experience, with a meaningful portion spent owning architecture and driving development — not just executing assigned tasks
  • Strong experience with Snowflake as a primary warehouse
  • Advanced SQL skills and experience building production-grade ELT pipelines
  • Strong hands-on experience with dbt for modeling, testing, and transformation — including macros, tests, snapshots, and managing a production dbt project at scale
  • Experience integrating and normalizing data from many disparate source systems — SaaS APIs, application databases, CRM/ERP, finance systems, event data — into consistent, analytics-ready models
  • Deep, hands-on experience with: Star schemas and dimensional modeling, SCD Type 2 implementations, Layered/medallion architectures
  • Ability to make tradeoffs and defend decisions (performance vs flexibility, normalization vs usability, etc.)
  • Track record of improving data quality, consistency, and trust
  • Experience implementing Git-based workflows and structured SDLC practices for data

  • Comfortable setting and enforcing standards across a team
