THE OPPORTUNITY
We're looking for a Staff Analytics Engineer to be the technical anchor of one of Kin's analytics engineering teams — the person who makes your team's slice of our shared data model correct, durable, and trusted.
Within the Data Engineering organization, Analytics Engineering turns raw, domain-owned data into a shared, trusted semantic model of the business. As Kin moves to a data mesh — where domain teams own their data as products on a shared, self-serve platform — and adopts an ontology-driven source of truth, each analytics engineering team owns a meaningful piece of that model. You'll own the hardest modeling and design problems in your team's scope, from the ontology objects that represent your slice of the business to the dimensional and semantic models that serve them downstream in BI and self-service. You'll also be a technical thought partner to the product and business leaders your team supports — going deep enough on their goals to turn ambiguous needs into clear, durable technical plans. Understanding the business is part of the craft here, not someone else's job.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the hardest modeling and architecture in your team's scope — ontology objects (types, properties, link types, and actions) that model your part of the business as it actually operates, and the dimensional and semantic models (e.g., Looker/LookML) that serve them downstream
- Act as a technical thought partner to the product and business leaders your team supports: understand their goals deeply and translate ambiguous or conflicting business needs into clear, durable technical plans
- Take end-to-end ownership of your team's most business-critical initiatives, where deep semantic and architectural judgment is the differentiator
- Align your team's models with shared representations of core entities (customer, policy, claim) so they stay consistent and interoperable across the mesh — partnering with the Principal Engineer and peers where definitions are cross-cutting
- Define the modeling patterns, naming conventions, and reference implementations your team builds on, and contribute them back to the discipline's shared standards
- Drive data-as-a-product expectations within yo
