Metrics & Data Modeling

  • Partner with the Data Analytics team to define and maintain core product, device, and service metrics.
  • Translate business requirements into ‘Bronze layer’ data ingests that support metric definitions through durable data models.
  • Build report-ready facts and dimension models and data pipelines to ensure semantic consistency.

Partner & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Serve as technical contact for our partner data and product teams as required
  • Work with Product, BI, AI/ML, Platform, and Finance to align data outputs to business needs.
  • Clearly communicate assumptions, risks, and tradeoffs.

Data Quality & Governance

  • Own end-to-end data correctness and alerting.
  • Implement validation, reconciliation, monitoring, and documentation standards.

Operational Excellence

  • Improve pipeline reliability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Reduce manual effort and contribute to data engineering best practices.
Required Qualifications
  • 4-6+ years of experience as a Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, or in a similar data-focused role.
    • Advanced degrees can be considered as part of this experience
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and experience building analytics-ready data models.
  • Hands-on experience with Databricks or similar cloud lakehouse platforms, including strong proficiency with SQL-based transformations.
  • Deep understanding of BI and analytics concepts, including metric definitions, dimensional modeling, and report-ready datasets.
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret existing reporting logic and translate it into scalable, production-grade pipelines.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working with Tableau data sources (TDS/TDSX), published extracts, or equivalent BI artifacts.
  • Experience with ETL / orchestration tools such as Databricks Workflows, dbt, Airflow, or similar.
  • Familiarity with external or third-party data sharing technologies and requirements (e.g., Delta Sharing / DeltaShare or similar partner data export mechanisms).
  • Experience delivering data products to external customers or partners.
  • Background in SaaS, subscription, IoT, or consumer electronics environments.
