Lead Analytics Engineer / dbt Architect IRC293456

Description

As the Lead Analytics Engineer, you will be the primary technical authority for our enterprise cloud migration. You will lead the transition from a legacy Teradata environment to a modern AWS “Lakehouse” architecture. Your mission is to design the foundational dbt architecture that replaces 500+ complex BTEQ scripts with modular, performant, and audit-ready pipelines supporting Risk, Finance, and Quants.

Requirements

• Expert-level dbt Core/Cloud proficiency, including advanced Jinja, macro development, and incremental materialization strategies.
• Deep experience with Databricks (Unity Catalog, SparkSQL) and Apache Iceberg on AWS S3.
• Ability to reverse-engineer legacy Teradata/BTEQ and write highly optimized SQL for Databricks.
• Hands-on experience with Apache Airflow (ideally Astronomer) for managing complex dependency trees.
• Strong mastery of Git workflows, CI/CD for data, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles.

Job responsibilities

• Design a scalable, DRY dbt project structure and materialization strategy tailored for a regulated enterprise migration.
• Lead the technical conversion of 500+ BTEQ scripts into dbt models, creating custom macros and automated translation patterns.
• Integrate dbt with Astronomer and OpenLineage to ensure end-to-end traceability for regulatory compliance.
• Architect a robust testing framework (dbt-expectations/custom macros) to ensure attribute-level parity between legacy and target systems.
• Establish CI/CD deployment pipelines, code review standards, and environment separation to ensure zero-defect releases.
• Serve as the program’s dbt SME, mentoring the engineering team on advanced modeling and Jinja templating.
