What We're Looking For

• Extensive experience designing, operating, and evolving production data platforms and modern data warehouse architectures
• Deep hands-on experience with dbt in large-scale production environments, including project structure, model layering, macros, seeds, tests, package management, and dbt Cloud job orchestration
• Proven ability to navigate, troubleshoot, and improve complex dbt projects with hundreds of models and thousands of automated tests
• Strong production experience with Apache Airflow, including DAG design, operators, task groups, sensors, variables, connections, and SLA configuration
• Deep hands-on experience with Amazon Redshift, including schema design, distribution and sort strategies, query performance optimization, and warehouse cost management
• Experience with Redshift Serverless and understanding of RPU usage and consumption-based cost behavior
• Strong dimensional and data warehouse modeling skills, including Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD Type 2)

• Strong Python skills applied to data engineering, ingestion, orchestration, and data processing
• Experience managing data infrastructure through Terraform
• Strong understanding of data quality and automated testing strategies across data pipelines, transformations, and warehouse models

Lead the evolution of a production data platform built around dbt, Apache Airflow, Amazon Redshift, Python, and AWS, taking ownership of its architecture, reliability, and data quality. Combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership and knowledge transfer to maintain and evolve a complex, business-critical data ecosystem.
