Advocate for best practices in analytics engineering, promoting advanced use of tools like dbt, Airflow, and other relevant technologies to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance.

Work closely with Product teams to define data requirements and ensure data architecture and pipelines support both new and existing data product roadmaps.

Agile and Collaborative Mindset: Effectively collaborate with non-technical stakeholders to understand business requirements and with technical partners across multiple disciplines to design elegant solutions. Deliver business impact within a fast-paced, agile environment.

Data Governance: Ensure data accuracy, integrity, and security across systems. Partner with application engineers, IT teams, and Infosec on data architecture and governance initiatives.
