The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to join our Engineering team. The team you will be joining is focused on the technologies that our customers and community use to collect data (our trackers and webhook integrations) and prepare it for their various use cases (our SQL data models). You will also be working on helping our customers get to valuable insights faster through automated modelling solutions.

You will be joining a wider team of 30+ remote engineers who work closely with our product, support, and customer teams. There is a huge opportunity to learn more about all aspects of engineering and data, from code to customer where you will be responsible for helping improve the experience of thousands of data teams worldwide.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Developing and maintaining a suite of production SQL data models used by our customer base and the community. Primarily focusing on dbt for packaging and execution.
• Building out our offering around data modeling. You won’t just work on the data models themselves - you’ll work closely with Product and the wider Engineering team to shape the way we collect data via our trackers to build better data models, and drive what data model tooling we provide as part of our commercial offering as well.
• Supporting our prospect/customer facing teams by showcasing the possibilities with Snowplow data, such as powering personalisation and recommendation systems, or developing advanced models (marketing attribution, lifetime value, etc.).
• Being an active part in decision making on what we build to help our customers get more value out of Snowplow, and how we deliver it. You’ll bring a different perspective and we’ll want your input!
• Responsible for developing and productizing data models, focusing on scalability, performance and maintainability, and developing in-depth understanding of cloud data warehouses and common web and mobile analytics use cases. This is an area of growing focus at Snowplow; you will have the opportunity to work alongside our Product team on defining how our data modeling offering will evolve over time.

We’d Love to Hear From You If:

• SQL and DBT are your thing. You master SQL, including manipulation of large data sets, performance tuning, etc
• You are not new to engineering. You have extensive experience using Python, CI/CD, and Git source control. You have experience with testing frameworks
• You are a proactive learner. Eager to expand on your software engineering knowledge and adapt to new technologies essential for automating models and advancing our engineering practices.
• You’re familiar with cloud technologies. You have experience working with data in a cloud data warehouse (Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery)
• Experience with a modern data modeling technology (DBT) and BI tool (Looker, Tableau, etc.)
• You document and communicate clearly. Some experience with technical content writing would be a plus
• You are excited to work autonomously. You are able to drive technical initiatives from discovery until to the delivery phase
• You know we can’t do everything today. You’ll be pragmatic and balance our speed of delivery with our commitment to providing a reliable and trusted service to customers
• You want to join a remote team that depends on expert collaborators to work effectively. You’ll be a great communicator and enjoy working closely with the team
