Prototype new data attributes and analytical products
Present technical options and decisions to stakeholders with varying technical literacy
Maintain code standards, documentation and knowledge-sharing practices




Collaborate actively with platform engineers and team members on technical solutions
What You'll Need (Essential)
Over 6 years hands-on programming experience (SQL, Python, SAS, or R)
Proven experience building production data systems on cloud data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Azure, etc.)
Strong understanding of data pipelines, data modelling and platform architectures
Ability to work independently, solve complex problems, deliver under tight deadlines with limited supervision
