JN -102026-109159

Responsibilities:

Design and build the Snowflake transformation layer from raw to staging to conformed to marts as the governed foundation for reporting and AI/ML.
Migrate existing SQL views to versioned, tested dbt models with full lineage.
Define conformed dimensions and operational facts across multi-ERP environments using Kimball principles including star schemas, surrogate keys, fact grain, and SCD Type 1 and Type 2.
Set standards for modeling, testing, naming, documentation, CI/CD, Git workflows, code review, dbt project structure, model contracts, and release management.
Partner with report owners to validate semantic equivalence and minimize disruption during BI cutovers.
Define and own the semantic layer across Snowflake, dbt, and Power BI to ensure consistent metrics.
Implement data quality testing, observability, and lineage with dbt tests and equivalent tools, partnering with IT Audit on SOX-relevant controls.
Design models for AI/ML and agent readiness with stable keys, clear semantics, and metadata for LLM retrieval and tool use.
Collaborate with AI/analytics teams on feature-table patterns, golden-record exposure, and data foundations for agentic applications.

Experience Requirements:

7+ years in data or analytics engineering with 4+ years on a cloud data warehouse, preferably Snowflake.
Expert SQL including window functions, performance tuning, and incremental load patterns.
3+ years of production dbt experience, including macros, tests, snapshots, incremental strategies, exposures, and documentation. Experience designing and maintaining a dbt project from scratch.
Hands-on Kimball dimensional modeling with star schemas, conformed dimensions, surrogate keys, and SCD Type 1 and Type 2.
Production experience with at least one ingestion tool such as Fivetran, Airbyte, Informatica, or Matillion and one orchestrator such as dbt Cloud, Airflow, Dagster, or Azure Data Factory.
Hands-on Git and CI/CD for data using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines, or GitLab CI with code review and release practices.
Proficient Python for data tooling including dbt macros, automation, data quality frameworks, and lightweight APIs.
Experience modeling data from at least one enterprise ERP such as Oracle, SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, or Microsoft Dynamics.
Strong written communication for standards, runbooks, and documentation.
Self-starter effective in a fast-paced multi-ERP environment with minimal supervision.
Experience supporting AI/ML, RAG, or agentic workloads from a warehouse layer.
Preferred: Table-level experience with SAP ECC or S/4HANA finance and logistics tables, Power BI semantic models and DAX, regulated industry background, SOX ITGC familiarity, and exposure to MDM tooling.

Education Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related quantitative field. Equivalent professional experience considered.
