Job Description
Senior / Staff Analytics Engineer
Fora Financial
• dbt at Fora: project structure, conventions, CI/CD, tests, contracts, documentation, and performance. • Data models across bronze, silver, and gold layers. • The semantic layer (dbt MetricFlow or equivalent): metric definitions, dimensions, governance, and adoption. • Production operation of the transformation layer: jobs, dependencies, failures, retries, alerts, environments, and release hygiene. • Python tooling for validation, dbt utilities, lightweight automation, and integrations. • Data quality, test coverage, and observability for modeled tables. • Partnership with Risk & Analytics to formalize business metrics currently spread across SQL, Tableau, and analyst knowledge.
Job Requirements
- Deep dbt experience. You have shipped and operated dbt as production software, not just a SQL wrapper. You have opinions about structure, macros, packages, tests, contracts, and CI.
- Strong dimensional and event-based modeling fundamentals: star schemas, conformed dimensions, slowly changing dimensions, point-in-time logic, grain discipline, and event-based modeling.
- Semantic-layer experience. You have built or owned metric definitions as code using MetricFlow, LookML, Cube, AtScale, or similar.
- Python competence for production analytics: API pulls, validation scripts, data quality checks, dbt utilities, lightweight automation, and debugging. You do not need to be a platform engineer, but you cannot be SQL-only.
- Working knowledge of orchestration: DAGs, dependencies, retries, alerts, incremental processing, logs, SLAs, and deployment environments.
- Git fluency: branches, rebases, conflict resolution, and meaningful commit history.
- Clear stakeholder communication. You can explain trade-offs, say no diplomatically, and maintain standards while building trust.
- Strong writing. You write useful PRs, durable documentation, and decision records other people can follow.
- AI-native curiosity. You are actively learning how LLMs, MCP, and governed semantic layers change analytics workflows, and you want to apply that learning responsibly.
- 3+ years of analytics engineering experience for Senior; 6+ for Staff. Level is based on scope of ownership, technical judgment, and ability to set direction independently.
Benefits
- Company-subsidized medical, dental, and vision plans with leading insurance providers.
- 401(k) plan with company match.
- Life insurance at no cost to employees.
- Generous time off plan, including rollover vacation days.
- Health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts.
- Commuter benefits.
- Remote working model.
