  • Help evolve our role-based access model for sensitive HR data, including secure views, row-level policies, and data sensitivity controls for PII and compensation.

  • Deep familiarity with the modern data stack: tools like dbt, Airflow, and Git as part of a collaborative engineering workflow
  • Strong experience working directly with non-technical and executive stakeholders, with the ability to translate a vague business question into a working data model and explain your thinking without jargon
  • Strong data quality instincts: you validate your work against source systems, define what "correct" means up front, and don't ship without checking your numbers
  • Genuine curiosity about AI and where it's going, with a point of view on how it should be woven into analytics work; you can design and build LLM products
  • Hands-on experience with Snowflake Cortex, LLM-powered analytics tools, or building conversational data experiences
  • Familiarity with Streamlit for building lightweight internal apps and dashboards
