Senior Data Engineer, Analytics

Hiring Manager: [ Fardad Golshany ] - Senior Data Engineer

✨ TL;DR - Why This Role Matters

We're looking for a data engineer with deep experience in analytics engineering and BI development to build the data infrastructure that powers decision-making across Scribe's 5M+ users and Fortune 500 customers. You'll architect scalable data marts in Snowflake using dbt, modernize our orchestration layer (Dagster/Airflow), improve data governance and monitoring with Metaplane, and enable AI-powered self-serve analytics in Sigma. This is a hands-on role where you'll shape the data foundation that scales us from 5M to 50M users and beyond.

📌 About the Role

As a data engineer focused on analytics and BI engineering at Scribe, you will:

• Work with the Data Engineering team and report to Fardad Golshany , partnering closely with Engineering, Product, GTM, and Finance teams

• Design and build scalable analytics data marts in Snowflake using dbt that enable data science and insights across multiple business domains

• Maintain existing data pipelines and build new ETL and reverse ETL workflows to ensure reliable data movement across systems

• Stand up and scale orchestration infrastructure using Dagster or Airflow, implementing monitoring and alerting via Metaplane

• Build dynamic executive-facing dashboards in Sigma to reduce time to insight and enable AI-powered self-serve analytics

• Establish data governance standards with automated testing, comprehensive documentation, and semantic definitions that reduce ad-hoc queries

• Optimize dbt pipeline performance by implementing incremental models, improving materializations, and applying engineering best practices

🌎 Location

While we hire from almost anywhere in the world, our HQ is in beautiful San Francisco, California. For this role, we expect you to live in or near San Francisco and work from the office 3 days per week.

Our Data Engineering team is distributed between San Francisco and New York City. For highly experienced candidates who can operate independently, we may consider remote in one of these hubs.

🧩 What Makes You a Great Fit

• You have 4+ years building production data pipelines and analytics infrastructure in cloud-native environments, with deep expertise in SQL and data transformation at scale

• You bring advanced production experience with dbt (2+ years), including writing macros, packages, and implementing best practices, plus hands-on experience with Snowflake performance tuning and cost optimization

• You have production experience with orchestration tools (Dagster or Airflow) and understand DAG design, dependency management, and monitoring

• You've built executive-level dashboards and BI solutions in Sigma (or similar tools) and understand how to structure semantic layers and optimize data models for AI-powered analytics

• You understand dimensional modeling and analytics architecture — designing data marts, fact/dimension tables, and semantic layers comes naturally to you

• You work autonomously and drive complex projects end-to-end, thriving in ambiguity while communicating clearly with business stakeholders across all levels
