• Perform data profiling, validation, and root cause analysis to improve data quality and reliability

• Lead analytics initiatives end-to-end: discovery, requirements, iterative development, validation, release, maintenance, and user support

• Lead technical design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions in the analytics stack

Requirements:

• Significant experience in analytics engineering, data transformation, or modern BI engineering roles

• Advanced SQL expertise, including performance optimization and complex transformation logic
