What Does a Analytics Engineer Do?
An analytics engineer owns the transformation layer of the modern data stack — building tested, version-controlled data models (typically with dbt) on top of a warehouse so analysts work from consistent definitions instead of ad-hoc SQL.
The role applies software engineering discipline to analytics and has grown quickly. It is remote-native, since the entire workflow is code and cloud warehouses.
Key skills
- SQL
- dbt
- Data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery)
- Data modelling
- Version control & testing
- Documentation
