Senior Business Intelligence Engineer

Responsibilities

• Partner with stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate them into scalable data models, definitions of metrics, and sustainable dbt implementations
• Own and evolve the semantic layer alongside curated warehouse models: define reusable metrics and dimensions
• Partner with analytics and data engineering on the metric lifecycle (definition, approval, deprecation), documentation, and lineage from semantic objects through to downstream consumers
• Raise the bar on data quality: design and maintain tests, monitoring to keep metrics consistent as the business scales
• Design and communicate data flows, dependencies, and SLAs for your areas; coordinate with Data Engineering and platform teams where orchestration, warehouse behavior, or access patterns affect reliability or cost
• Mentor engineers and analysts through code review, pairing, and shared standards so the whole BI engineering practice ships faster with fewer incidents

Requirements

• The ideal candidate for this role possesses:
• 5+ years of experience in business intelligence, analytics engineering, or data engineering, with substantial time on cloud data warehouses and SQL-first analytics engineering
• Expert-level SQL and strong data modeling skills and metric design that survives real-world edge cases
• Deep hands-on experience with dbt (projects, packages, tests, documentation, CI-oriented workflows) and Snowflake (or a comparable warehouse), including optimization and operational awareness
• Hands-on experience building or maintaining a semantic layer-modeling metrics and dimensions for governed consumption, with clear documentation, drill and aggregation behavior, and access patterns suited to both self-serve and curated reporting
• Familiarity with orchestrated pipelines (for example Airflow or similar) and how upstream freshness and quality affect downstream marts and metrics
• Excellent communication with technical and non-technical partners; ability to prioritize, push back constructively, and anticipate downstream impact of model and metric changes
