About this role
<h3>Accountabilities</h3><li>
<strong>Build and maintain the gold data layer:</strong>Develop conformed data models for customers, accounts, projects, products, and contracts, reconciling identities and relationships across CRM, application, payment, and billing systems.</li><li>
<strong>Own the semantic and metrics layer:</strong>Define, document, version, and maintain standardized business metrics so dashboards, analytical notebooks, and AI agents consistently produce the same trusted results.</li><li>
<strong>Develop AI-ready data interfaces:</strong>Build tools, permission frameworks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) interfaces that enable AI agents to explore and query business data safely, accurately, and without introducing unreliable joins or misleading conclusions.</li><li>
<strong>Establish data quality and correctness controls:</strong>Implement automated assertions for data grain, uniqueness, and cross-system reconciliation, ensuring issues are detected early and routed to clearly designated owners.</li><li>
<strong>Evaluate AI-generated analytical outputs:</strong>Create evaluation frameworks that compare agent responses against verified answers, measuring accuracy, appropriate refusal, and confidently incorrect responses as distinct performance indicators.</li><li>
<strong>Translate business questions into reusable data products:</strong>Partner with sales, product, and finance stakeholders to answer complex questions while building durable models and definitions that make future analysis faster and more reliable.</li><li>
<strong>Drive technical standards and team foundations:</strong>Help establish engineering practices, documentation, workflows, and quality standards for a new team, taking ownership of solutions in an evolving technical environment.</li><li>
<strong>Integrate AI into everyday engineering:</strong>Experiment with advanced AI tools and incorporate them into development, analysis, and problem-solving workflows to improve productivity, quality, and the scope of work delivered.</li><h2>Requirements</h2><li>
<strong>Strong SQL and Python expertise:</strong>Demonstrated experience writing, deploying, and maintaining production-grade SQL and Python code, with a track record of building reliable systems and detecting failures through proactive monitoring and instrumentation.</li><li>
