  • Build and guide reporting know-how to ensure data and key metric standardization across the larger business unit.

Who You Are:

  • 5+ years of full-time, professional work experience analyzing data using both SQL and Python.
  • Proven track record of supplying analytics solutions for existing teams, with ability to take open ended goals and scope them into defined and impactful objectives.
  • Significant experience in conducting ETL with very large and complicated datasets and handling DAG data dependencies.
  • Strong proficiency with SQL dialects on distributed or data lake style systems (Presto, BigQuery, Spark/Hive SQL, etc), including SQL based experience in nested data structure manipulation, windowing functions, query optimization, data partitioning techniques, etc. Knowledge of Google BigQuery optimization is a plus.
  • Additional skills as a plus: Experience with Data Build Tool (DBT) or general knowledge of Jinja templating in Python. Hands-on experience with cloud provider integration and automation via CLIs and APIs.
