Job Description:

The Senior Analytics Engineer provides advanced analytics and data engineering support across multiple business and program areas.

This position is fully remote and requires a Public Trust (or the ability to obtain it). US citizenship required. The candidate may be required to work outside of business hours, including weekends, based on need.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain automated, scalable ETL/ELT data pipelines using Python, SQL, and cloud-based tools to integrate, transform, and validate structured and unstructured data from diverse sources.
• Develop and manage analytics-ready data models and workflows (e.g., in Databricks or similar platforms) to support reporting, self-service analytics, and advanced data science use cases.
• Implement CI/CD practices using GitLab for data workflows, ensuring reliable, versioned, and repeatable analytics and data engineering processes.
• Design, develop, and deploy interactive dashboards and reports using Tableau, Power BI, or similar tools to deliver complex analysis and actionable insights to business and technical stakeholders.
• Perform data mining, cleaning, and manipulation using SQL and Python (e.g., Pandas, NumPy) to support statistical analyses, visualizations, and decision-support tools.
• Conduct end-to-end analytical and modeling work, including exploratory data analysis, feature preparation, model validation, and documentation; experience with AI or predictive modeling is a plus.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (data engineers, analysts, software developers, and stakeholders) to translate business requirements into effective data models, pipelines, and visualizations.
• Compile and maintain metadata, data dictionaries, and technical documentation; produce recurring and ad-hoc reports for leadership.
• Respond to urgent and ad-hoc data requests and support collaborative research and analysis projects across program areas.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship on analytics best practices, Python scripting, data modeling, and workflow automation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in data science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field, with 5+ years of experience (or 3+ years with a Master's) in analytics engineering, data engineering, or data analysis.
• Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, Git/GitLab, and experience building ETL/ELT pipelines with CI/CD and data engineering best practices.
• Experience working with relational and non-relational databases (e.g., Oracle, PostgreSQL) and creating executive-ready dashboards using Tableau or Power BI.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to analyze large, complex datasets and communicate insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in fast-paced, agile environments with excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Databricks, cloud platforms (especially AWS), and modern data infrastructure.
• Exposure to AI/ML, advanced data modeling (classification, forecasting, NLP), and MLOps practices.
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration and automation tools such as Airflow, MLflow, or similar platforms.
• Experience working with government or regulated data environments, Agile/Scrum methodologies, and project management tools like Jira.
• Experience mentoring junior data professionals and contributing to analytics standards, best practices, and team development.

The likely salary range for this position is $127,500 - $172,500. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, geographic location and possibly contractual requirements and could fall outside of this range.
