Who we’re looking for: The Data Analytics Engineer is responsible for transforming raw and staged data into trusted, well-modeled, and analytics-ready datasets that empower reporting, dashboards, and data-driven decision-making across the organization.

You will work closely with Data Engineers (who ingest data), BI Developers (who build dashboards), and Analysts (who generate insights) to build the semantic layer of the warehouse. You will own data modeling, cleansing, deduplication, and constructing unified datasets that bring together information from systems such as Salesforce, NetSuite, Google, and internal applications. This position is open to candidates located in the following states: Arizona (AZ), Washington (WA), Nevada (NV), Utah (UT), Illinois (IL), Ohio (OH), New Jersey (NJ), Virginia (VA), North Carolina (NC), and Florida (FL).
