Our Client

Job Summary

We’re looking for a senior data leader who operates at a director level but prefers to stay deeply hands-on. You will own the entire data ecosystem — warehouse, pipelines, modeling, semantic layer, BI foundations, and internal data applications. This role shapes the company’s data strategy while building high-quality, scalable systems that power decision-making across every team.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end data ecosystem, from raw data ingestion to curated, trusted datasets powering analytics and business intelligence.

• Architect, implement, and scale data pipelines and warehouse infrastructure to support rapid growth and evolving data requirements.

• Lead the design, development, and maintenance of core Looker/LookML models, ensuring clarity, reliability, and performance of business metrics.

• Define and evolve the semantic layer, including source-of-truth dimensions, measures, and business logic used across the organization.

• Partner with engineering, analytics, and business stakeholders to translate strategic business goals into technical data architecture and modeling decisions.

• Build and enhance internal data applications, services, and tools supporting analytics, reporting, and operational workflows.

• Implement rigorous data quality, governance, monitoring, and alerting across all layers of the data stack.

• Establish standards and best practices for data modeling, ETL/ELT orchestration, and business intelligence development.

• Act as a technical mentor and architectural influencer across engineering teams, guiding decisions without formal personnel management.

Qualifications and Job Requirements

• Senior technical leader who prefers designing and shipping impactful systems rather than managing teams.

• Strong passion for data modeling, semantic layers, and building clean, consistent, high-performance structures.

• Ability to switch seamlessly between infrastructure, data modeling, and BI layers.

• Motivation to design resilient, scalable data systems aligned with business growth.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into business clarity.

• Belief that data must be accessible, understandable, and actionable across the company.

• 8+ years of experience in data infrastructure, analytics engineering, or backend engineering.

• Deep hands-on experience with modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, or similar).

• Expert-level SQL skills and strong proficiency with Python.

• Proven experience owning and scaling Looker LookML and semantic layers.

• Experience designing and implementing ETL/ELT pipelines and orchestration workflows (e.g., Apache Airflow or similar).

• Strong background in data modeling, data architecture, and performance optimization.

• Experience with distributed systems and cloud platforms (AWS preferred).

• Demonstrated ability to set technical direction, influence architecture, and collaborate across engineering and business teams.

• Excellent communication skills for partnering with executives, analysts, engineers, and cross-functional teams.
