- Navigate and query various data management systems, primarily BigQuery schemas, to extract and manipulate raw data.
- Construct, optimize, and troubleshoot complex SQL queries to join, filter, and transform data from disparate tables.
- Leverage development tools like dbt (data build tool) within a code repository to build, test, and deploy production-level data models used by multiple teams.
- Actively investigate and resolve data quality issues across various data tables to ensure accuracy and reliability.
- Efficiently review and understand existing complex queries by tracing and interpreting multiple layers of data logic.
- Interface with version control systems, specifically Git and GitHub, by creating feature branches, committing changes, and submitting pull requests for code review.
- Assist in implementing lightly scripted solutions for data intake and integrations between our applications.

What you'll need to succeed:

- Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field
- 2+ years experience in a data analysis or business intelligence role
- Technical proficiency in multiple coding languages including SQL, Python, C++, and Javascript for data manipulation and software integration
- Experience operating within Linux environments to manage files, execute scripts, and navigate server-side directories
- Advanced expertise in writing, optimizing, and troubleshooting complex SQL queries for extracting and transforming data from cloud-based database schemas
- Hands-on experience with data transformation tools and version control systems like Git to build and maintain production-level data models
- Knowledge of Jira and Atlassian automation to configure technical workflows, manage task tracking, and streamline project delivery
