What you’ll be doing
- Designing and maintaining analytics‑ready data models in Snowflake using dbt, including data marts, metrics, and reusable analytical datasets.
- Applying scalable modelling patterns and contributing to organisation‑wide standards and conventions.
- Coaching analysts, data scientists, and science teams in analytics engineering best practice, modelling, testing, documentation, and data quality.
- Enabling domain teams to own and maintain their data marts safely and confidently, with guidance and review to ensure alignment with platform standards.
- Partnering with internal researchers to translate exploratory analysis into repeatable, well‑modelled datasets with clear definitions and reproducible insights.
- Shaping analytical products around real use cases, ensuring data marts are intuitive, discoverable, and fit for purpose.
- Owning data quality at the analytics layer, using dbt tests, monitoring, and close collaboration with platform engineers to resolve issues.
- Building and maintaining the semantic layer in Snowflake and Omni to support consistent, self‑serve analytics.
- Supporting adoption of Omni through documentation, examples, and hands‑on guidance.
- Collaborating with data product teams on ingestion, data contracts, and quality expectations.
- Working closely with Analytics Platform Engineers on dbt execution patterns, performance optimisation, and CI/CD improvements.
- Mentoring mid‑level analytics engineers and contributing to a culture of high‑quality, scalable analytics.
