About the role
- We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our Data & Analytics Engineering team.
- You will operate where data architecture, data quality, and multi-functional ownership meet to ensure data is trusted, validated, and reliably delivered from product instrumentation to executive dashboards.
Responsibilities
- Build and implement end-to-end data pipelines spanning product instrumentation, ingestion, transformation, semantic modeling, and reporting layers (e.g., Power BI).
- Develop and maintain documentation for source-of-truth datasets, including ownership of metric definitions, data joins, schema transformations, and lineage tracking.
- Lead data modeling efforts, including entity relationship build, dimensional modeling, and consumption-layer optimization.
- Establish and maintain clear ownership models across the data lifecycle - from ingestion to semantic model to reporting.
- Build and enforce data validation strategies at the pipeline level and at semantic/reporting consumption layers.
- Define and implement quality gates that must pass before dashboards or metrics are considered production-ready.
- Build monitoring, alerting, and anomaly detection systems to proactively surface data quality issues.
- Conduct root-cause analysis on data incidents and drive resolution across teams.
- Collaboration & Partner Enablement
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering, data architecture, or a closely related field.
- Proficiency in unified data platforms like Databricks, Snowflake.
- Proficiency in SQL and at least one modern data transformation framework (e.g., dbt, Spark, Dataflow).
- Experience with semantic modeling and BI consumption layers, including familiarity with tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker.
- Demonstrated ability to define and detail data ownership models, RACI frameworks, or data governance policies.
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining high-capacity data integration solutions in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Nice to have
- Experience with product usage / event data (e.g., Amplitude, Segment, Adobe Analytics, or custom instrumentation).
- Familiarity with data contracts, schema registries, or data mesh principles.
- Experience with Power BI dataflow, datasets, or enterprise-scale report delivery.
