WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWithin the Analytics Engineering team, we are looking for like-minded people that we would like to work with. We are not looking for a specific type of professional. We all come from very different cultural and educational backgrounds. We love this diversity, and we built an inclusive culture around it. We do not judge, instead, we care about and support each other. We share a genuine curiosity about what we do, and together we get better at it every day. We look for people with this mindset before anything else. The Analytics Engineer is part of the central data platform team and reports to the Data Platform Lead. The Analytics Engineer works closely with the Data Engineers, the Data Governance Specialist, and the Data Stewards from the domains. During the Foundation and Operationalization phases, the Analytics Engineer temporarily fulfills the steward role for departments that do not yet have their own Data Steward.
