• You own our data warehouse and the reporting layer on top of it, setting patterns for how data is modeled, evolved, and exposed. • You write SQL and dbt models, refactor transformations, and build the tables and views downstream teams rely on. • You proactively engage with teams across the company to understand how data is created and used, identify gaps, and guide solutions. • You partner with our DevX and architecture teams on the boundary between product engineering services and Snowflake. • You build models, tests, and processes that anticipate malformed data and upstream changes, making our pipelines boring to operate. • You instrument what you own, define meaningful SLOs and data quality checks, and participate in our rotating on-call schedule. • You own and extend our Python jobs running on Glue, Lambda, and Step Functions. • You pair with more junior engineers on real work, raise the bar on PR and architecture reviews, and define the patterns and standards the team writes against.
