- Write production-grade, performant SQL queries and Python scripts for data transformation, extraction, and automated data wrangling.

- Build and maintain data models and semantic views in Snowflake.
- Write thorough data dictionaries, model descriptions, and documentation for built assets.
- Maintain clean code repositories and follow git workflows and data testing protocols.
- Take on additional analytics engineering priorities as assigned, based on evolving business needs.
Must haves

- Rigorous Documentation Focus: A disciplined habit of maintaining thorough technical documentation and code comments.
- Upper-intermediate English level.
