No C2C Candidates!!!

Techead is seeking a Senior-level Data Analytics Engineer for a full-time, remote/hybrid role to lead the development of a foundational data engineering layer. This individual contributor role focuses on owning the end-to-end analytics process, from designing core data models to establishing scalable best practices for a growing organization.

Core Responsibilities

The role is divided into three primary areas of ownership:

• Building the Data Foundation:
• Design and implement a “single source of truth” using dimensional modeling, star schemas, and modular data marts.
• Manage modern infrastructure utilizing tools such as dbt, Snowflake, and Git, including the implementation of CI/CD patterns.
• Establish scalable standards for data testing, documentation, naming conventions, and dataset ownership.
• Implement data quality checks and observability practices to improve organizational trust in data.
• Enabling Self-Serve Insights:
• Develop curated datasets and semantic layers to ensure consistent and reliable BI reporting.
• Translate ambiguous business questions into structured, reusable data products rather than one-off queries.
• Create dashboards and analytics tools that empower stakeholders across Product, Engineering, and GTM (Go-To-Market) to self-serve confidently.
• Technical Leadership:
• Lead cross-functional projects from discovery to delivery, influencing business outcomes through technical expertise.
• Collaborate with product managers during discovery phases to identify high-leverage problems solvable through data.

Required Qualifications

Techead is looking for candidates who demonstrate both technical rigor and strong business partnership skills:

Bonus Points

• Experience with semantic modeling layers like LookML
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (Hevo, Airflow, Dagster)
• Background in high-growth startup or tech environments
• Knowledge of data cataloging and metadata management tools (Atlan, etc.)
• Understanding of AI/ML applications and prompt engineering for LLMs
• Experience with statistical analysis and experimental design

TECHEAD’s mission is to make our on-site associates successful by placing them in the right environment so they can grow and prosper. How we treat and respond to our clients and employees is a reflection of who we are and makes us stand out from the rest. Keeping our business focused on building and maintaining relationships with our employees and clients is the key to our success. We won’t strive for anything less.
