📋 Description

• Own and improve canonical data models • Own and evolve the dbt models that transform raw source-system data into durable, reporting-ready tables. • Improve models over time by reducing duplication, clarifying grain, and documenting business logic. • Turn recurring reporting needs into reusable models rather than one-off queries. • Identify opportunities to simplify the data model and make reporting easier to understand and maintain. • Own the Lightdash semantic layer so core metrics are defined consistently and documented where they're used. • Maintain source-of-truth definitions, promoting and deprecating metrics as the business changes. • Improve the reporting ecosystem over time by making analytics more self-service and easier to use. • Build and maintain observability, testing, and monitoring across the analytics stack so data quality issues are identified early and resolved across source systems, transformations, and BI outputs. • Maintain strong development practices: version control, PR review, documentation, testing • Review analytics work for modeling quality and maintainability, and help analysts use the stack effectively. • Cross-train teammates so knowledge is shared rather than concentrated.
