  • Collaborate with data scientists and analytics peers to incorporate predictive models, statistical forecasting algorithms, and anomaly detection into business-facing dashboards and semantic layers.

  • Actively follow modern software engineering best practices for data, including version control with Git, collaborative code reviews, automated testing (e.g., dbt tests, data quality validation), and continuous integration (CI/CD).

  • Create well-documented, certified datasets and provide guidance and technical support to business users to help them self-serve data with confidence.

  • Maintain high standards for data accuracy, testing, and cataloguing (e.g., Databricks Unity Catalog) to ensure enterprise data remains governed, accessible, and compliant.

  • Act as a hands-on technical resource for BI platforms (e.g., Power BI, Tableau), developing performant, intuitive dashboards and participating in peer reviews to maintain high visual and performance standards.

  • Participate in agile planning, sprint execution, and backlog refinement, delivering well-scoped analytics solutions on time.

You Are…

  • An Analytical Problem Solver: You enjoy untangling complex data challenges, exploring patterns, and translating business questions into reliable analytical models.

  • A Team Player & Collaborator: You thrive working within an agile team of engineers, sharing knowledge openly, giving and receiving constructive code reviews, and learning from peers.

  • Quality & Automation-Focused: You take pride in writing clean, well-tested code and automating repetitive workflows.

  • Curious & Adaptable: You stay curious about new tools, approaches, and CPG trends, adapting comfortably as business needs evolve.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 3–6+ years of hands-on experience in analytics engineering, business intelligence, or data analytics, delivering reliable data models and production dashboards.

  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).

  • Core Technical Skills:

    • Strong proficiency in SQL; experience building and optimizing dimensional models (Star Schemas) and analytical tables.

    • Practical experience with modern data transformation and lakehouse tools, such as dbt, Databricks, Snowflake, or Azure Data Services.

    • Hands-on experience developing intuitive, performant dashboards in platforms such as Power BI or Tableau.

    • Working knowledge of Python or R for exploratory analysis, data transformation, or automation.

    • Familiarity with Git workflows, pull requests, and automated testing frameworks (e.g., dbt test).

    • Exposure to data cataloguing/governance tools (e.g., Unity Catalog) and workflow orchestration (e.g., Databricks Workflows, Airflow, or Azure Data Factory).

  • Experience working within CPG, retail, DTC, or manufacturing environments is a plus.
