  • Develop scalable dimensional models, semantic layers, and dbt transformations that create consistent business logic and trusted metrics across WHOOP.
  • Partner closely with Product, Analytics, Data Science, and Engineering teams to understand business needs, translate ambiguous requirements into well-designed data products, and ensure those products evolve alongside the business.
  • Establish engineering best practices for data modeling, testing, documentation, lineage, and governance, improving trust, discoverability, and maintainability across the analytical ecosystem.
  • Collaborate with Data Engineers and Data Platform Engineers to improve upstream data quality, influence data contracts, and ensure reliable delivery of business-critical datasets.
  • Drive adoption of reusable data products and self-service analytics capabilities, reducing duplication of business logic and enabling teams to move faster with confidence.
  • Mentor engineers and analysts on modern data modeling techniques, engineering best practices, and data product thinking through technical leadership, design reviews, and collaborative problem solving.
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate development, improve documentation, enhance data quality, and increase engineering productivity while maintaining rigorous validation, governance, and quality standards.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Analytics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of experience designing and building production data solutions with a strong emphasis on analytics engineering, data modeling, or data product development.
  • Expert-level SQL skills and extensive experience designing dimensional models and analytical data structures that balance usability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Professional experience building data transformation frameworks using dbt or similar modern data transformation tools.
  • Strong understanding of semantic modeling, metric design, and data governance principles, with experience creating trusted business-facing datasets.
  • Experience working with modern cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake and partnering with data engineering teams to build scalable analytical solutions.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives, balancing technical excellence with business outcomes and stakeholder needs.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical standards through design reviews, documentation, and collaborative leadership.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences and build alignment across diverse stakeholder groups.
  • Passion for treating data as a product, with a strong focus on usability, quality, discoverability, and long-term maintainability.
  • Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
