Job Description: The Staff Analytics Engineer owns the Gold layer and enterprise semantic layer of the Databricks lakehouse, where clean and governed Silver-layer data becomes trusted, business-ready models, KPIs, and semantic assets. This role translates approved business definitions into auditable transformation logic and durable analytics models that can be used consistently across multiple domains. This role is expected to go beyond technical model building. The Analytics Engineer must understand the business meaning of the data being modeled, the operational context behind key metrics, and the classification or usage constraints that affect how data can be exposed, joined, governed, and consumed in a regulated environment.
