Translate retail data into decisions — connect store-level signals (inventory, on-shelf availability, task execution, etc.) to meaningful business outcomes for both internal teams and retail clients
Raise analytical standards — establish best practices for reproducibility, documentation, and code quality across the team's data science and analytics work
Build conversational data experiences — design and prototype AI agent or chatbot interfaces that allow internal or external users to query and explore retail data through natural language (nice to have)
Qualifications
5+ years of experience in analytics engineering or a closely related role, with demonstrable delivery of production features
Experience with dbt for data transformation and Kimball Dimensional modeling: writing models, tests, and documentation as part of a production analytics engineering workflow
Solid SQL and experience working with large-scale cloud data platforms (GCP/BigQuery preferred)
Experience owning the full lifecycle of analytics features: scoping, building, shipping, and maintaining

Retail industry experience strongly preferred (store operations, inventory, merchandising, supply chain, or equivalent)
Hands-on experience using AI tools (LLM APIs, coding assistants, prompt engineering) to accelerate analytical work
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with, pipeline orchestration (Airflow or similar), model monitoring, CI/CD for analytical workflows
