• Partner with product engineering: Collaborate directly with engineering teams to embed analytical and data-modeling capabilities into product systems and pipelines.

• Advanced SQL and deep proficiency in data modeling, schema design, and query optimization.
• Strong grasp of data warehouse architecture and modern modeling methodologies.
