About the Role

We are building our People Analytics platform from scratch on a modern data stack (GCP/BigQuery, CData, dbt). We are looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to lead the architecture, implementation, and ongoing evolution of our new People Analytics data platform. This is a foundational, "greenfield" role: you will be responsible for defining the blueprint of how we ingest, store, and transform HR data from systems like SuccessFactors and Greenhouse into meaningful insights. You are not just building pipelines; you are architecting a high-performance AI-ready data product that will enable our People team to make data-driven decisions on a scale.

Responsibilities

Provision and manage our GCP environment (BigQuery) using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
Define the project structure and governance for the GCP environment.
Own the full pipeline: configure CData to sync HRIS/ATS systems into BigQuery.
Use dbt to build a clean, modular transformation layer (Staging, Intermediate, and Marts).
Collaborate on the data strategy to ensure all data is clean, versioned, and documented, creating a "feature store" ready for future BigQuery ML predictive modeling.
Implement strict IAM policies, data masking, and access controls to ensure sensitive HR/PII data is protected.
Build performant data marts specifically optimized for Tableau to ensure fast load times for the dashboard team.

Requirements

5–8+ Years of Experience in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, or a highly technical Data Analyst role.
Proven track record of successfully leading or being a core contributor to building a data platform from scratch.
Understanding of how to make architectural trade-offs that favor long-term scalability over "quick fixes."
3+ years of hands-on experience with version control (Git/GitHub).
Experience establishing CI/CD pipelines.
Treat data transformation as software engineering.
Expert-level proficiency in SQL, comfortable with complex window functions and performance optimization.
Strong, demonstrated experience building and testing dbt projects (Jinja, macros, modular modeling).
Hands-on experience managing BigQuery project structure, dataset governance, partitioning/clustering, and IAM/security policies.
Ability to translate complex HR business requirements (e.g., Attrition, Headcount, Diversity, Time-to-Fill) into reusable dimensional data models.
