Job Level

About the role

  • Design, build, and maintain our enterprise data warehouse on Snowflake, ensuring optimal performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability.
  • Gather requirements from both technical and non-technical stakeholders to deliver end-to-end data products.
  • Support user and role provisioning, implement RBAC policies, support audits and conduct user access reviews.
  • Establish data modeling standards and data governance frameworks, creating dimension and fact tables that serve analytics, machine learning, and reporting use cases.
  • Implement data quality monitoring, anomaly detection, tests, and alerting.
  • Document definitions, metrics, and KPIs and assist in the development of a data dictionary.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in data engineering, data warehousing, or analytics engineering roles.
  • Expert SQL knowledge and Python proficiency.
  • Experience with the modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, etc), data transformation, and orchestration tools (dbt, Airflow, Dagster, Prefect).
  • Experience with modern data stack tools such as Fivetran/Airbyte for ingestion, Looker/Tableau for visualization, and reverse ETL tools like Census/Hightouch.
  • Understanding of software engineering best practices including version control, CI/CD pipelines, code review processes, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Basic understanding of MLOps and some experience with implementation of AI/ML technologies.
  • Mission-First Mindset - We put the needs of the mission and our customers first and understand that the US and its allies have no preordained right to victory in any future conflict.
  • Ownership Mentality - We’re looking for owners; those who have a natural bias to assume responsibility, a healthy dose of skepticism, and contribute to a culture of performance.
  • Technical Aptitude and Intellectual Curiosity - We are first and foremost a technology company, working at the leading edge of capabilities like machine learning, autonomy, distributed networking, and multi-modal sensor fusion.
  • Structured Thinker and Problem Solver - Leading technical programs requires clear communication and well-thought-out plans. A solution-driven approach, the ability to distill complexity into its essential, digestible components, and the ability to supervise execution are critical to ensure mission success.
  • 360 Degree Leader - We are a non-hierarchical organization with a matrix structure that is dynamic and evolving. We expect you to be self-aware enough to recognize your position of unstated leadership within the company. You should have a demonstrated ability to lead and influence people through both formal and informal constructs and in situations where there is lack of clarity across teams.
