What you will do…

• Build and maintain a standard set of report-ready data cubes used for reporting and analysis across the company

About You…

• BS in a technical or analytical discipline, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience as a Data Engineer or in a closely related role. We're open to candidates across a range of experience levels, and scope and ownership will be calibrated accordingly
• Strong Technical Skills:

+ Proficient in writing SQL queries to transform raw user action data into business data; comfort with complex queries scales with seniority

+ Experience with Snowflake is required; hands-on experience implementing OpenFlow with Snowflake is strongly preferred for senior candidates and a nice-to-have for others
