Analytics Engineer

Analytics Engineer

Support the development of a semantic modeling and metrics layer that powers analytics across Data Cloud and Tableau.

Role Overview

• You will work between Data Engineering and Product Analytics.
• The role is not primarily dashboard-focused—your impact is through semantic models, metric definitions, and relationships that enable trusted self-serve analytics for product and business teams (including downstream analytics and AI insights).

Responsibilities

• Semantic Modeling & Metrics
  • Design and maintain semantic models and governed metrics
  • Translate curated data objects into business-ready dimensions and KPIs
  • Define and document metric logic/calculations for reuse
  • Ensure metric consistency across dashboards and analytics use cases
• Data Modeling & Relationships
  • Configure and validate relationships between modeled data objects
  • Review and validate AI-suggested/automated relationships for analytical correctness
  • Collaborate with data and product teams to align on modeling conventions
• Governance & Documentation
  • Support governance practices for semantic layer consistency and reuse
  • Document business logic, metric definitions, and modeling patterns
  • Partner with Product, Analytics, and Engineering as requirements evolve
• Platform Growth
  • Stay current with Tableau-related modeling and semantic capabilities
  • Contribute to best practices as analytics platforms evolve

Must Haves

• Experience with Tableau, including shared/published data sources
• Understanding of semantic layer concepts (centralized definitions, reusable metrics, consistent logic)
• Data modeling knowledge beyond visualization (e.g., metrics, joins, business logic)
• Strong data literacy and curiosity about business decision impact

Nice To Have

• Knowledge of Salesforce Data Cloud (Data 360) concepts:
  • Data Model Objects (DMOs)
  • Data Lake Objects (DLOs)
  • Calculated Insights (CIOs)
• Familiarity with Tableau Semantics, Tableau Next, or semantic modeling tools
• Interest in governed analytics or AI-assisted modeling platforms
• Analytics Engineer background with a dbt-style mindset (not just dashboard development)

Contract & Location

• Contract role
• Based out of San Francisco, CA
• Fully remote

Pay

• $75.00–$85.00 per hour
