The Role:

We are looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to join our analytics team and support our fast growing data platform. We have more and more people in the company using our data models, and we need help in providing easy to use and clean data models for them. This role will be working at the intersection of analytics and engineering, working with data engineers to get the right raw data in and working with analysts to provide them with the best data models possible.

We use tools like Stitch & Supermetrics to extract data from our source systems and Hightouch to push data back to for example Salesforce & Google Ads. Besides that, we’re using Monte Carlo as a data observability solution.

In this role your main focus will be to enable others in Aiven to do analytics. We want our Crabs to be able to solve 80% of their data questions by themselves. This requires high quality datasets that are easy to understand and use.

• Build trust in our data by working closely together multi-functionally
• Own data quality, metrics, and business logic for our core data models
• Give data literacy trainings and mentor people with a desire to learn SQL
• Work together with analysts to define data models for them to use, and adjust our data models based on usage patterns
• Help define data domains to keep the data models manageable

What We're Looking For:

• Analytical and diligent
• Experience in spreading data literacy through an organization
• Expert in SQL
• Experience implementing data modeling frameworks such as (Kimball, Inmon, OneBigTable, Activity Schema)
• Skilled in using dbt
• Experience in developing and refactoring data models

Nice to have:
