Principal Analytics Engineer (Data Architect) - Hybrid in Bangalore

Bangalore, INDIA

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has helped people and teams achieve–well, anything. From seamless work management to smart, scalable solutions, we’ve always worked with flow. We’re building tools that empower teams to automate the manual, uncover insights, and scale smarter. But more than that, we’re creating space– space to think big, take action, and unlock the kind of work that truly matters. Because when challenge meets purpose, and passion turns into progress, that’s magic at work, and it’s what we show up for everyday.

As a global leader in Collaborative Work Management and with a market cap of $10bn we’ve experienced incredible growth in EMEA, expanding from 1 team and 3 engineers in 2018 to 9 teams with over 70 engineers in 2024. As we expand into India and build out a new operation, we're searching for a talented and motivated Principal Analytics Engineer (Data Architect) to serve as a thought leader in our data-driven decision-making. You will be responsible for the end-to-end system design and architecture of our business critical analytical systems (DWs). This role will be responsible for the design and development of a governed, reliable, and scalable analytics ecosystem, transforming raw data into high-value, performant data products for DS/ML, analytics, and reporting.

A key aspect of this role is providing thought leadership and architecting efficient, large-scale data transformation systems within Snowflake. You will have demonstrated experience architecting data solutions for SaaS companies, specifically within the Go-To-Market (GTM), Marketing, Customer Experience, and Financial business domains. Working as a strategic advisor to BI analysts, Data Scientists, and business leadership, you will drive the organization's data strategy, ensure data accessibility, and foster data democratization across the enterprise.

This full-time position reports to the Director of Analytics Engineering and is based in Smartsheet’s corporate offices in Bengaluru, India.

You Will:

  • Lead the end-to-end system design and architecture for large, complex analytics systems, optimizing data transformations from our data lake in Snowflake into analytical data products (DWs).
  • Define and drive the adoption of design standards, architectural principles, and data modeling methodologies (including Data Vault (DV 2.0) and dimensional modeling) across the organization.
  • Propose and drive strategic initiatives and coordinate the technical roadmap for analytical systems across the engineering organization partnering closely with the Big Data Platforms (BDP) team.
  • Serve as the data architect for critical SaaS business domains, including Go-To-Market, Marketing, Customer Experience, and Finance, translating ambiguous business problems into scalable technical analytical solutions.
  • Develop and implement the organization's data strategy for data quality, observability, and testing, raising the bar for engineering quality.
  • Architect and guide teams to build and maintain a governed, robust, reliable, and scalable analytics system leveraging Gen AI capabilities including AI-assisted code development practices.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to BI analysts, data scientists, and business leaders, educating and advising leadership on technical data topics and data accessibility strategies.
  • Foster data democratization via activation of data on critical platforms like Smartsheet Platform, Amplitude, ThoughtSpot, Gainsight & Salesforce.
  • Actively mentor analytics engineers and provide mentorship across disciplines, leading forums such as guilds, design reviews, and engineering forums.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to assess data privacy needs and define data masking strategies aligned with industry compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA).

You Have:

  • 12+ years of experience in advanced data modeling, data architecture, and data warehousing. This role is expected to do development activities in combination of the data architecture scope, so hands-on experience is necessary.
  • Deep expertise and 10+ years of hands-on experience with Data Vault (DV 2.0) and Dimensional Modeling.
  • Expert-level knowledge of modern data stacks, including Snowflake, dbt, and data orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, GitLab pipelines).
  • Proven experience architecting and building analytical products for SaaS companies in GTM, Marketing, Customer Experience, and Financial data domains.
  • Comprehensive understanding of data topologies (e.g., data mesh, hub/spoke) and data modeling methodologies (e.g., Data Vault, Kimball, Inmon).
  • Demonstrated ability to drive clarity in ambiguous environments where the strategy may not be defined.
  • Proven experience with building and maintaining business analytics layers and semantic layers to enable self-service for non-technical end-users.
  • Strong production experience supporting and maintaining analytics/data warehouse solutions with mission-critical datasets.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with experience educating and advising senior leadership and mentoring teams across disciplines.
  • Strong knowledge of data governance principles, CI/CD practices (e.g., GitLab), self-serve analytics tools (e.g., Amplitude, ThoughtSpot), and cloud architectures (AWS preferred).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
