• Develop and maintain interactive dashboards and self‑service reporting tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker) tailored for C‑level executives, business analysts, and operational teams.
• Collaborate closely with product owners, business analysts, and IT partners to gather requirements, translate them into technical specifications, and deliver data solutions that align with strategic objectives.
• Lead the creation of ad‑hoc reports and data visualizations that empower data‑curious users to explore “what‑if” scenarios and uncover hidden opportunities.
• Establish and enforce data governance, quality, and security standards across the data lifecycle, conducting regular code reviews and performance audits.
• Mentor junior engineers and analysts, fostering a culture of continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and best‑practice adoption.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and industry trends, evaluating new tools and frameworks that could enhance arenaflex’s data capabilities.
• Drive process improvements by identifying bottlenecks, recommending automation, and prioritizing initiatives based on business impact.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of 2 years of hands‑on experience building data pipelines with Python and Airflow (or similar orchestration tools).
• Proven expertise in designing and implementing data warehouses, data marts, and data lake architectures.
• Strong command of SQL, including complex query writing, performance tuning, and schema design.
• Demonstrated ability to create executive‑level dashboards and reports that translate technical data into clear business insights.
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and critical‑thinking abilities.
• Superior written and verbal communication skills, with the capacity to convey technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
• Track record of delivering high‑quality work under tight deadlines and in fast‑paced environments.

Preferred Qualifications & Additional Experience

• Experience with cloud data platforms such as AWS Redshift, Google BigQuery, or Azure Synapse.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines for data engineering workloads.
• Knowledge of data modeling techniques (star, snowflake, normalized) and dimensional design.
• Exposure to machine learning pipelines and the ability to collaborate with data science teams.
• Certification in data engineering, business intelligence, or related fields (e.g., Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer, Microsoft Certified: Data Analyst Associate).
• Previous experience leading cross‑functional teams in a remote or distributed setting.

Core Skills & Competencies
