Qualifications :

Some of the main responsibilities for the role include: 

• Analytics Engineering:
  - Architect and implement complex dbt pipelines following modern data engineering best practices.
  - Design scalable high-performance data models that power critical business analytics.  
  - Build and optimize advanced SQL queries across massive datasets.  
  - Implement robust data testing quality checks and monitoring systems.  
  - Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for data models and processes.
• Machine Learning Engineering:
  - Design and implement end-to-end ML pipelines from feature engineering to deployment.
  - Operationalize ML models in production environments with monitoring and retraining workflows. 
  - Collaborate with data scientists to transform research models into scalable production systems.
  - Implement feature stores and develop feature engineering pipelines. 
  -Optimize ML model performance scalability and reliability.
• Business Impact:
  - Partner closely with stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
  - Create advanced analytics solutions that drive high-value business decisions.  
  - Develop and maintain sophisticated data transformations that support ML initiatives.
  - Lead technical design discussions and mentor junior team members.  
  - Stay current with cutting-edge techniques in analytics engineering and MLOps 

Job Skills/Requirements
- 90% English written and oral (at least B2 level) with excellent communication skills
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science Statistics Engineering or a related quantitative field 
field (Masters preferred) 
- 5 years of experience in analytics engineering ML engineering or similar roles 
- Expert-level SQL skills with deep experience in at least one major data warehouse 
(Snowflake BigQuery Redshift) 
- Advanced proficiency with DBT including complex transformation patterns and best practices 
- Strong Python programming skills with experience building production ML pipelines 
- Hands-on experience with ML frameworks (scikit-learn TensorFlow PyTorch) and 
MLOps tools 
- Experience deploying and monitoring ML models in production environments 
- Proven track record implementing data quality frameworks and testing methodologies 
- Expertise with version control CI/CD practices and modern data engineering workflows 
- Exceptional problem-solving abilities and attention to detail   
 

Non-negotiables for Analytics Engineer with ML Focus: 
1. Strong SQL and Python Proficiency 
This is foundational - theyll be writing complex SQL for data transformations daily and Python 
for ML pipelines automation and data processing. Without solid skills in both they cant 
effectively bridge the analytics and ML engineering domains. Look for candidates who can 
demonstrate advanced SQL (CTEs window functions optimization) and Python (pandas data 
manipulation ML libraries). 
  
2. Production ML Model Deployment Experience 
Many candidates know how to build models in notebooks but lack the engineering skills to 
operationalize them. You need someone who has actually deployed models to production dealt 
with model monitoring versioning and the challenges of serving models at scale. This 
separates true ML engineers from data scientists who only work in experimental environments. 
  
3. Data Pipeline and ETL/ELT Engineering Experience 
They must have hands-on experience building reliable scalable data pipelines - not just ad-hoc 
analysis. This includes understanding data quality handling schema changes orchestration 
and building maintainable data workflows. Without this they cant ensure the data foundation 
that both analytics and ML depend on. 

Additional Information :

Preferred Qualifications: 
- Masters or PhD in a quantitative field 
- Experience architecting both batch and real-time ML pipelines 
- Expertise with feature stores (Feast Tecton etc.) and feature engineering at scale 
- Advanced knowledge of MLOps frameworks and tools (MLflow Kubeflow Airflow etc.) 
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) 
- Deep expertise in cloud platforms (AWS GCP Azure) and their ML/data services 
- Experience with real-time analytics systems and streaming architectures 
- Background in causal inference A/B testing and experimental design 
- Knowledge of data governance data security and ML model governance principles 
- Experience leading technical teams or mentoring junior engineers.
