Data Product Enablement: Architect how the semantic layer is consumed across distinct product surfaces such as Reporting (high-performance BI platform for customers), and Agentic Analytics (metadata-rich, discoverable interfaces that enable AI agents to reason over and query the semantic layer). Partner with adjacent teams to ensure the semantic layer meets each product’s unique requirements.
Performance & Scale: Own query performance, materialization strategies, pre-aggregation patterns, and cost optimization. Ensure the semantic layer is highly performant and scalable as data volumes and consumer demand grow.
Platform & Governance: Build the semantic layer as a true platform experience: self-service metric onboarding, developer-friendly abstractions, clear documentation, data validation, and governance guardrails. Make it easy for other teams to extend the semantic layer without compromising consistency or quality.
Technical Leadership: Operate as a technical leader across the Data & Reporting Platform organization. Participate in and drive design sessions across teams. Mentor engineers, manage stakeholder and leadership alignment. Contribute to architecture decisions that span from data foundations through reporting and analytics. Champion high-quality code with corresponding test coverage.
AI-Augmented Engineering: Use AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) as a core part of your daily workflow. Drive adoption patterns, build team-specific contexts and workflows, and set the standard for how the team multiplies velocity through AI-assisted development.
What You’ll Bring
10+ years of experience in Software Engineering or Data Engineering roles, including experience with large-scale, high-traffic, fault-tolerant systems.
Deep experience with semantic modeling, data engineering, data lakehouse, and data product development. Track record of building platform-level abstractions consumed by multiple product teams.
Strong experience with the DBT ecosystem. Experience with semantic layer technologies (e.g., dbt MetricFlow or similar) is highly preferred.
Expert-level SQL and Python skills. Experience with query optimization, materialization strategies, and performance tuning at scale.
Experience with modern data platform technologies: Snowflake, ClickHouse, or similar OLAP/columnar engines. Familiarity with Spark and streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis).
Experience designing APIs and interfaces for domain specific data products.
Demonstrated proficiency with AI coding tools (eg Claude, Cursor) as part of your regular engineering workflow; not just familiarity, but active daily use.
Experience leading the architecture and design of systems (architecture, design patterns, reliability, and scaling).
Strong communication and technical writing skills. Ability to empathize with users and champion for their experience.
B.S., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science or a related field.
Highly preferred
Experience building semantic layers that serve both human analysts and programmatic/AI consumers.
Experience with data governance frameworks, metric versioning, or data product catalogs.
Familiarity with LLM-friendly data interfaces; designing schemas and metadata that enable AI agents to discover and query data effectively.
Experience with data validation and quality frameworks (e.g., Monte Carlo, Great Expectations).
To effectively support our international teams, this position requires flexibility to overlap with US working hours as needed.
