• Identify and explore new opportunities through creative analytical and engineering methods.
• Create new or optimize existing analytics development standards and best practices.

• 9+ years of relevant experience in business intelligence / data engineering.
• Expertise in writing SQL (clean, fast code is a must) and in data-warehousing concepts such as star schemas, slowly changing dimensions, and ELT/ETL.
• Experience in transforming flawed/changing data into consistent, trustworthy datasets, and in developing DAGs to batch-process millions of records.
• Experience with general-purpose programming (e.g. Python, Java, Go), dealing with a variety of data structures, algorithms, and serialization formats.
• Experience with big-data technologies (e.g. Spark, Kafka, Hive).
• Advanced ability to build reports and dashboards with BI tools (such as Looker and Tableau).
• Proficiency with Git (or similar version control) and CI/CD best practices.
• Experience managing workflows using Agile practices.
• Expertise in writing clear, concise documentation and communicating with a high degree of precision.
• Ability to solve ambiguous problems independently and to manage multiple projects and time constraints simultaneously.
• Care for the quality of the input data and how the processed data is ultimately interpreted and used.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and strong organizational skills with the ability to act independently and responsibly.
• Self-starter, comfortable initiating projects from design to execution with minimal supervision, and able to balance multiple (and sometimes competing) priorities in a fast-paced, complex business environment while consistently meeting deadlines.
• Team player and relationship builder.
