The Opportunity

We are seeking a Staff Analytics Engineer to support Finance by building reliable, well-modeled, and trusted data for reporting, decision-making, and emerging AI use cases.

This role sits at the intersection of business context and technical execution. You will design scalable data models, define consistent business logic, and help establish a strong semantic foundation that enables both human analytics and machine-driven intelligence.

You will partner closely with Finance stakeholders, Data Analysts, and Data Engineers to ensure data is accurate, consistent, and easy to consume; whether through dashboards, self-service exploration, or AI-powered workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable data models using dbt and Snowflake.
  • Define and standardize core Finance metrics (e.g., revenue, ARR, billing) with clear, governed logic.
  • Establish consistent modeling patterns, naming conventions, and semantic clarity across datasets.
  • Contribute to a shared semantic layer that supports both analytics and AI use cases.

• AI-Ready Data & Snowflake Ecosystem

  • Define the strategy for data readiness and consumption by AI/LLMs, ensuring that governance and semantic clarity standards meet the requirements for trustworthy and responsible automated decision-making.
  • Prepare high-quality, well-governed datasets for use with Snowflake Cortex and Snowflake Intelligence.
  • Enable structured data foundations that support LLM-powered use cases, semantic querying, and intelligent applications.
  • Ensure data is context-rich, well-documented, and aligned with business meaning to improve AI accuracy and trust.

• Data Quality, Governance & Trust

  • Implement robust testing, validation, and documentation practices in dbt.
  • Ensure consistency across reports and dashboards through shared definitions and reusable models.
  • Apply data governance best practices, including access controls, lineage, and auditability.
  • Partner across teams to establish clear ownership and accountability for data assets.

• Collaboration & Delivery

  • Define and own the multi-quarter technical roadmap for the Finance data domain, aligning data architecture decisions with executive business objectives and anticipating future growth and regulatory needs.
  • Partner with Finance, Analysts, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business needs into data solutions.
  • Support self-service analytics by building intuitive, reusable datasets.
  • Contribute to scalable data workflows that balance immediate business needs with long-term maintainability.
  • Work within an agile environment, contributing to planning, prioritization, and continuous improvement.

• AI and Data Mindset

  • Demonstrate an AI-first mindset, thinking beyond data models and dashboards to how data can power intelligent systems and decision-making.
  • Understand the importance of well-modeled, well-documented, and semantically clear data for AI and LLM-based use cases.
  • A level of comfort leveraging AI-assisted workflows to improve productivity, code quality, and consistency.
  • Curiosity for emerging capabilities in platforms like Snowflake Cortex and Snowflake Intelligence, and how they can be applied to Finance analytics.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, or similar roles, with at least 2 years operating in a high-impact Senior or Lead capacity.
• Proven track record of defining, driving, and delivering a multi-quarter technical roadmap for a critical data domain (e.g., Finance, Growth).
• Mentorship & Engineering Excellence: Mentorship, raising the technical bar, establishing organization-wide standards for dbt/SQL quality and CI/CD.
• Strong SQL skills and experience building analytics-ready data models.

• Solid understanding of data modeling principles, including dimensional modeling and semantic design.
• Ability to navigate highly ambiguous business challenges, translating vague, complex, or competing goals from executive stakeholders into clear, actionable, and robust data solutions.
• Familiarity with SaaS metrics and Finance data (e.g., ARR, revenue recognition, billing).
• Experience with data quality, testing, and documentation best practices.
• Exposure to Python, R, or data processing frameworks (e.g., PySpark) is a plus.
• Experience with BI tools such as Tableau or Looker.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work across technical and business teams.
