Sr. Analytics Engineer (Amazon Marketplace)

 Role: Sr Analytics Engineer
 Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (Onsite at Symphony Towers)
 Compensation Range: $120,000-$140,000 DOE

At Luminize, we help brands win, and as one of the top Amazon sellers in the US, our success is driven by data. We are looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer who is a master of business logic and data transformation.
In this role, you will be the primary architect of our data’s "Source of Truth." Rather than managing data ingestion infrastructure, you will focus your expertise on the transformation layer - using SQL and dbt to solve complex business puzzles. You will turn raw, disorganized data into clean, well-documented, and performant models that empower our entire organization to make smarter decisions.

• Architect the Logic – Design and develop advanced data models in dbt that transform raw data into actionable datasets for internal stakeholders and clients.
• Solve Business Problems – Partner with business leads to understand their challenges and translate complex requirements into elegant, efficient SQL code.
• Optimize Performance – Own BigQuery performance optimization from the transformation side, using smart partitioning, clustering and incremental modeling strategies to ensure cost-efficiency and speed.
• Ensure Data Integrity – Implement robust testing and documentation standards to ensure that every metric—from margins to inventory turns—is accurate and reliable.
• Data Storytelling – Create high-impact visualizations and executive dashboards that distill complex logic into clear, actionable business narratives.
• Mentor & Standardize – Lead code reviews, promote SQL best practices, and mentor team members on how to build scalable, maintainable analytics models.

• Analytical Problem Solver – You enjoy the "puzzle" of data. You can take a vague business question and structure a logic-based solution.
• SQL Mastery – You are an expert in SQL. You understand window functions, CTEs, and how to write highly optimized queries for large-scale data environments.
• dbt Expertise – Proven experience using dbt (Data Build Tool) to manage transformations, snapshots, and testing frameworks.
• Data Modeling Experience – A strong understanding of dimensional modeling (Star Schema) and how to structure data for self-service analytics.
• Modern Data Stack Proficiency – Experience working within cloud data warehouses like Google BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks.
• Communication – Ability to explain technical logic to non-technical audiences, including C-level executives and brand managers.

• Multiple medical plan options through Anthem Blue Cross
• Dental & vision insurance (including orthodontia and annual exams)
• Pet benefit program with savings on vet care, products, and services
• Paid vacation (accruing up to 120+ hours/year with rollover and cap)
• Paid holidays annually
• Coverage for spouses/domestic partners and dependents under 26
• Benefits begin on the first of the month after your hire date

We're committed to compensating based on value and impact, not just years on paper, and we're happy to have open conversations throughout the process.

We offer clear career paths and leveling guidelines so you always know where you stand, what's next, and what skills and experience you need to get there. From day one, you'll have visibility into advancement opportunities and what it takes to grow into leadership, specialization, or other cross-functional roles.

We're proud of our strong track record of promoting from within. Many of our team leads and managers started in independent contributor roles and grew by consistently showing initiative, curiosity, and impact. We only hire externally when needed, because we believe the best future leaders are often already here.

You'll also benefit from:

• Mentorship from experienced managers during 1:1s and annual performance reviews
• Cross-functional exposure to departments including content, brand management, software, supply chain, operations, and catalog
• Learning resources, including Udemy course access, and additional training programs and courses.
• A culture that encourages asking questions, trying new things, and leveling up together

If you're excited to take ownership and grow, both in your craft and your career, you'll be in good company here.
