alerts and checks (e.g., dbt tests, Great Expectations) to catch data quality issues before they reach stakeholders.
advocate for engineering rigor within the squad.
We are looking for a Data Analytics Engineer who approaches data with a software engineering mindset. You will join our Data
Solutions squad to build and maintain production-grade data platforms.
This is not a Data Analyst role. While you will understand the business context, your primary focus is technical: building
scalable workflows, writing clean and testable Python/SQL code, automating deployments, and supporting cloud infrastructure
optimizations. You will ensure our pipelines remain reliable, cost-effective, and maintainable.
We are looking for a candidate who has solid analytics engineering experience or a strong background in backend development
focused on data.
Must-Have Skills
