Senior Analytics Engineer

About Norm

Norm builds AI-native professional services firms and the technology that powers them. Our mission is to help expert professionals deliver better work at greater scale.

Developing the technology and the firms together lets us rethink how work gets done, how teams operate and what clients can expect. Professional judgment and experience guide what we build, while advances in the technology expand what our firms can deliver. Our shared agentic platform connects that progress across teams and services.

Founded in 2023, Norm brings together experts across engineering, research, product, design and professional practice. Our legal and compliance platform serves institutions representing more than $35 trillion in combined assets under management.

Norm also powers Norm Law, LLP, an affiliated AI-native law firm whose attorneys advise leading institutions on complex corporate matters.

AI Fluency:
Norm prefers all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

This Role:

The Senior Analytics Engineer will own the analytics data products that our internal teams rely on to make decisions. You will turn prototypes and one-off analyses into trusted, production-grade models and metrics. That means reusable models, business-facing metrics, access controls, tests, documentation, and the guidance our Lightdash AI agents need to answer questions correctly.

This role reports directly to the Director of Data and works closely with the rest of the data team and with internal partners such as GTM and Finance. It is a hands-on role that combines modeling judgment with stakeholder discovery.

What You'll Do:

• Own analytics data products across internal business functions

• Design and maintain reusable intermediate models, business-facing gold models, metrics, access controls, tests, documentation, and Lightdash agent guidance

• Turn ideas into production data products by working with stakeholders to define requirements, validating the results, and publishing them

• Reconcile concepts that differ across source systems, and publish mappings, unmatched records, assumptions, and quality checks so conflicts stay visible

• Deliver changes through the full production process, including SQL, dbt tests, Lightdash metadata, access rules, content validation, and AI agent instructions

• Diagnose incorrect or stale results across the data layers, and partner with data engineering when the cause sits below the serving layer

• Review modeling changes, pair with teammates, and help maintain shared standards

What We're Looking For:

Core Qualifications

• 5+ years of analytics engineering or equivalent experience, including contribution to a production dbt project with tests, CI, incremental models, and documentation

• Strong dimensional modeling judgment: you can design conformed entities and facts at the correct grain, and make clear decisions when source systems use conflicting definitions

• Experience delivering a metrics or semantic layer used by both people and tools, with safe access controls for sensitive data

• Familiarity with and regular use of AI coding agents. You verify their output and know when they are not the right tool

• Strong SQL skills and enough Python experience to understand existing pipelines and build transformation tasks

• Clear technical writing. You treat model documentation and metric definitions as part of the data product

Nice to Haves

• Experience with Lightdash, or another semantic layer managed as code

• AWS knowledge and familiarity with tools like Athena, Iceberg, and Spark

• Experience with legal, private equity, or financial services data, including restricted or client-sensitive information

• Experience setting standards or mentoring on a small team
