The Role
As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you will own the “middle layer” of the data stack. Your mission is to translate complex healthcare business logic into scalable, governed dbt models that power the future of the Client’s analytics strategy.
- Architect the Semantic Layer: Define metrics, naming conventions, and data structures that enable natural language querying (NLQ) and self-service BI.
