Support the team in using AI powered IDEs, coding assistants, agents, and automation tools to improve development workflows and productivity
Guide and support the growth of other Analytics Engineers, helping them strengthen dbt, SQL, modeling, and problem solving skills
Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand workflows and metrics, translating real world logic into clear, reliable data models
Provide Analytics Engineering coverage during EU business hours, partnering closely with EU based stakeholders.
