About the role
We file this job under Analytics Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
Analytics engineers turn raw warehouse data into clean, tested and documented tables that analysts and dashboards can rely on, often with dbt.
Expect strong SQL, data modeling, Git, and a warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery or Redshift.
A data engineer gets data into the warehouse; an analytics engineer shapes it once it is there and works closer to the analysts who use it.
