Your role in the team
- As part of the Data Team at NPG Digital, you’ll further develop our data platform—from processing event and business data to building models in our data warehouse.
- Your focus is on data modeling, because clean models are the foundation for analytics, dashboards, A/B tests, and personalization.
- You combine business acumen with software engineering.
- You challenge requirements, understand the questions behind them, and develop clear, well-reasoned solutions in dbt and our semantic layer.
- Your work is used across Product, Editorial, and Marketing, and you work directly with the people who use it.
- AI is changing the way we work: Coding agents are increasingly writing the code.
- You make the difference when you understand the business logic, model it cleanly, and formulate requirements precisely enough for an agent to implement them reliably.
- You make data easy and reliable for analysts and business teams to use.
- Together with the subject matter experts, you ensure that KPIs are defined and calculated consistently.
- You make our analytics work more maintainable through reusable models, tests, and documentation.
- Clarifying business requirements and business logic together with Data Analysts and business departments, and translating them into precise specifications and data models that you implement and validate with coding agents.
- Development and ongoing enhancement of data marts in dbt based on our existing warehouse architecture.
- Developing consistent KPI definitions together with the subject matter owners and implementing them technically in the semantic layer using Lightdash.
- Ensuring the reliability of your models through testing, clear documentation, and traceable data provenance.
- Maintenance and refactoring of existing models, as well as reducing technical debt.
- Close coordination with Data Engineering on data foundations and shared models, as well as joint resolution of data quality issues.
- Code reviews and support for analysts in using Git and dbt.
