Machinify - Senior Data Engineer - Analytics
Requirements
• 6+ years across analytics engineering, BI engineering, data engineering, or business analysis, with production ownership of the models and metrics you built. • Expert SQL and strong dimensional modeling instincts. You spot a grain mismatch in someone else’s model before you run it. • Production dbt: models, tests, macros, exposures, documentation, and CI. You have opinions about project structure and can defend them. • Hands-on with a cloud lakehouse or warehouse. Databricks and Spark SQL preferred; Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift transfer well. • Real visualization talent. You’ve owned a BI semantic layer and the reports on top of it, not just the tables underneath. Power BI and DAX strongly preferred; Looker/LookML, Tableau, MetricFlow, or Cube are credible substitutes. Bring dashboards you designed and be ready to say what you left out. • Real visualization talent. • Stakeholder fluency. You can run a requirements conversation with a non-technical owner, turn a vague complaint into a testable definition, explain a data problem as business risk, and tell someone their metric is wrong without losing them. • Stakeholder fluency. • A reconciliation reflex. When two numbers disagree you don’t average them, escalate them, or trust the newer one. You find out why. • Git and pull-request discipline as normal practice rather than overhead. • Python where it’s genuinely the right tool (API calls, file parsing, statistics, report generation), and the judgment to reach for SQL where it isn’t. • Comfort with high autonomy in a fast, async, Slack-first environment. You decide inside your lane and inform, rather than queuing decisions for permission. • Strong writing. Much of your impact is a document, a definition, or a chart someone reads without you in the room. • Healthcare data: claims (837/835/UB04), DRG and coding review, payment integrity, provider contracts, or revenue cycle. • Data contracts, schema enforcement, or ODCS-style governance; quality gating in CI. • Databricks Unity Catalog, lineage, and cost/DBU accountability. • Paginated reporting, SharePoint/Excel delivery, or other “the business needs it in exactly this format” surfaces. • Working alongside AI coding agents and reviewing what they produce against a contract you wrote.
Responsibilities
• Run discovery with business stakeholders. Find the real need behind the request and turn it into acceptance criteria you can build against. • Run discovery with business stakeholders. • Model noisy healthcare operational data into certified dimensional models across our Databricks bronze → silver → gold architecture in dbt and SQL. Our sources disagree with each other in ways that are interesting rather than trivial. Sorting that out is most of the job. • Model noisy healthcare operational data • Own metric definitions. One measure, one definition, one place, documented so a non-engineer can read it. Today a single operating metric can be re-derived in a dozen models; collapsing that into a governed semantic layer is yours. • Own metric definitions. • Build and own the visualization layer. Power BI semantic models, dashboards, and paginated reports, including refresh health and semantic-model currency. We want real visualization judgment: the right chart for the question, a hierarchy an executive can read in ten seconds, and a reason for every choice. • Build and own the visualization layer. • Own observability for your models. Freshness and latency detection, statistical anomaly detection, and value-drift monitoring, plus the data tests, regression guards, and CI checks that keep a defect you just fixed from coming back. • Own observability for your models. • Own orchestration for what you build. dbt Cloud job design, Airflow DAGs, scheduling, dependency ordering, dependable incremental runs. • Own orchestration for what you build. • Write it down. Design documents, model documentation, a CI-enforced knowledge base, and business-readable handoff packets, so whoever inherits your work doesn’t have to re-derive it. • Write it down. • Automate the recurring work. We codify repeating work into repeatable, testable, AI-assisted workflows instead of checklists in someone’s notes. You should be comfortable directing LLMs and supervising what they produce. • Automate the recurring work.
Benefits
