Senior Analytics Engineer – dbt & Snowflake

Farlow is working with a growing Australian business of approximately 500 employees that is investing heavily in improving how data is used across the organisation.

You will join a data function of approximately 15 people working across Data Engineering Analytics and BI. The environment is built around Snowflake dbt and SQL with a strong focus on creating trusted well-modelled datasets that can be used across the organisation.

• Working with Data Engineers on upstream data requirements
  
• Partnering with analysts and business stakeholders to understand how data is being used

Were looking for someone with:

• Strong commercial SQL experience
  
• Hands-on experience with dbt
  
• Experience working with Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse
  
• Strong understanding of dimensional and data modelling
  
• Experience building production-quality transformation pipelines
  
• Good understanding of software engineering practices such as Git testing and CI/CD
  
• Ability to translate business requirements into well-designed data models
  
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  
• Full Australian working rights
  

Experience with Python Airflow AWS Looker or Power BI would be useful but is not essential.

• $150000 to $170000 super
  
• Hybrid working with approximately 2 days per week in the Sydney office
  
• Modern Snowflake and dbt environment
  
• Established data team rather than being the first data hire
  
• Opportunity to influence analytics engineering standards
  
• High visibility across the organisation as its data capability continues to mature
  

If youre currently working as an Analytics Engineer or youre a technically strong Data Analyst or Data Engineer working heavily with SQL dbt and data modelling wed be interested in speaking with you.
