This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
- Fixing and translating SQL syntax from Redshift and Snowflake to Trino Syntax in dbt models.
- Refactoring and optimizing data models, ensuring they align with best practices for Iceberg.
- Collaborating with analytics teams and workbook owners to validate and test the impact of migration work on Tableau assets.
- Managing version control for dbt models via Git and engaging in daily standups to execute migration priorities efficiently.
- Collaborating with engineering and analytics teams to ensure seamless model transitions and maintain quality data standards.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
- 2+ years of experience in a data engineering, BI, or analytics role.
- Deep expertise in SQL with experience in multiple syntaxes (Redshift, Snowflake, and Trino), and a deep understanding of dbt, including model development, macros, and Jinja templating. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
- Experience with version controlling via Git (a must), BI tools such as Tableau, and experience working in financial services or SaaS companies.
- Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team, particularly in guiding stakeholders through infrastructure changes.
