THE OPPORTUNITY

We are hiring a Staff Analytics Engineering Lead to our Data Delivery team in Brazil This is a Remote – Brazil position, meaning you can work from anywhere within the country. Please note that this role is only open to candidates in Brazil. 

As a Staff Analytics Engineer Lead in the Data Delivery team, you'll play a critical role in scaling our data capabilities and driving our ambitious Data Democratization movement. You won't just help build pipelines; you'll be a key driver in shaping how we build, govern, and distribute data across a microservice-driven architecture. We own the data exploration layers, transforming raw data into structured, easy-to-consume, domain-driven datasets that power corporate analytics, reverse ETL, and self-service exploration across the company.

Your work will directly influence the success of our data-driven culture by:

• Leading key initiatives for the Data Delivery team, acting as the primary point of contact and ensuring alignment between technical execution and company-wide data strategy.
• Driving the Shift Left movement by collaboratively defining the patterns, standards, and tools that enable microservice teams (Data Producers) to expose high-quality, consumable data with robust data contracts.
• Architecting and championing robust data models within our data warehouse (Medallion Architecture) ensuring data consistency and adherence to our central data concepts, significantly enhancing the reliability of company-wide reporting and analysis.
• Empowering the distributed Data Chapter (embedded analysts) by providing them with the highest-quality, most discoverable datasets necessary for their business and product insights.

YOUR IMPACT

Initiative & Stakeholder Management

• Manage cross-functional data initiatives, establishing clear roadmaps, managing dependencies, and communicating progress and risks to senior stakeholders across the Business Units and Product Tech Unit.
• Act as a technical product owner for data assets within your assigned domains, gathering complex requirements from the Global Analytics, Product and Business teams, translating them into actionable data delivery plans.
• Collaborate closely with the Data Platform and Data Solutions teams to ensure the transformation and tooling capabilities (e.g., Trino, Airflow, OpenMetadata) align with our delivery needs.
• Live the mission: inspire and empower others by genuinely caring for your own wellbeing and your colleagues. Bring wellbeing to the forefront of work, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable taking care of themselves, taking time off, and finding work-life wellness

Technical Design & Delivery

• Design and maintain scalable, high-integrity data models (e.g., dimensional, facts, and aggregated marts) within our domain-driven data warehouse that are optimized for both Trino performance and self-service analytics.
• Develop robust, test-driven ETL/ELT pipelines using Python and SQL in our Airflow environment to transform raw, distributed microservice data into gold-standard domain datasets.
• Champion and enforce our data governance practices, ensuring data models and transformations enforce correspondence with formal company-wide data concepts and quality standards.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance on best practices in data modeling and pipeline development to other engineers in the Data Delivery team.
