- Identify and resolve systemic data quality, reliability, and trust issues across datasets and workflows
- Partner with analytics, engineering, product, and business teams to align data architecture with business needs
- Communicate technical decisions, tradeoffs, and architectural direction clearly to a range of stakeholders

What We re Looking For
- 10 years of total experience in data-focused roles, with significant depth in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, or Data Architecture
- Proven track record of owning and evolving large-scale data architectures, not just contributing within them
- Expert-level proficiency in SQL

- Deep expertise with dbt, including advanced project structure, testing, modular design, and scalable implementation patterns
- Strong experience designing scalable data models using Dimensional Modeling, Data Vault, or similar approaches
- Strong Python skills applied to data engineering, testing, automation, or tooling
- Experience influencing technical direction and working across multiple teams
- Proven ability to identify and solve broad data quality and reliability issues at an organizational level
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly
What Makes Your Candidacy Stand Out
- Strong point of view on data modeling philosophy and when to apply different approaches
