• Collaborate with Data Analysts, Product Managers, and Engineers to deliver data solutions that drive decision-making.
• Create and maintain dashboards and reports.
• Champion best practices in version control, testing, and CI/CD for analytics engineering.
• Mentor and support junior team members, contributing to knowledge sharing and upskilling within the team.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve data quality, scalability, and efficiency.

Essential Skills 

• Strong proficiency in SQL and hands-on experience with dbt.
• Solid experience working with cloud-based data warehouses (Snowflake preferred).
• Experience building dashboards and reports in modern BI tools (Tableau, Looker, or Metabase).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate business requirements into scalable data solutions.
