- 5+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data modeling, or BI development, with a focus on enabling data-driven decision-making.

- Experience with cloud data platforms, particularly Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Cloud Storage).
- Familiarity with BI tools such as Looker, Power BI, or Tableau, and experience designing scalable dashboards and semantic layers.
- Strong grasp of data quality, testing frameworks, and validation best practices for reliable reporting.
- Awareness of data privacy and consent regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and how they apply to analytics tracking and reporting.
- Solid problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex data discrepancies across tools and reports.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate business needs into data solutions and explain technical details to non-technical stakeholders.
