• Direct experience working with Databricks, including querying Delta tables, understanding lakehouse architecture, and navigating Unity Catalog or equivalent data governance structures.
• Solid data modeling background, with the ability to design and build analytical models including facts, dimensions, and summary layers that are performant and business-aligned.
• Proven ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into structured, accurate, and scalable dashboard solutions.
• Experience with BI tools and semantic layers beyond Sigma, demonstrating breadth of analytical platform understanding and transferable technical knowledge.
• Strong understanding of data concepts including grain, lineage, slowly changing dimensions, and aggregation patterns.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced contractor capacity with minimal oversight and high delivery accountability.

Core Competencies

• Advanced Sigma Computing dashboard development and workbook design.
• Data modeling and analytics engineering within Databricks and lakehouse environments.
• SQL development at enterprise scale with attention to performance and accuracy.
• Business requirements translation into technical dashboard specifications.
• Semantic layer design and metric standardization.
• Data validation, reconciliation, and documentation discipline.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience in financial services, wealth management, or similarly complex, regulated data environments with sensitive or multi-domain data.
• Familiarity with dbt or similar analytics engineering frameworks for model documentation and transformation layer management.

• Build or refine data models and semantic layers that underpin dashboard development, including defining metrics, dimensions, aggregations, and business logic at the appropriate layer.
• Translate business requirements gathered from senior stakeholders and business analysts into dashboard designs that are intuitive, self-service ready, and aligned to how decisions are actually made.
• Validate data accuracy and reconcile dashboard outputs against source systems and upstream data pipelines, escalating discrepancies with clear documentation.
• Collaborate with data engineering teams to understand pipeline architecture, data availability, grain, and lineage, and to influence upstream data structures where dashboard requirements demand it.
• Document data models, dashboard logic, metric definitions, and design decisions to support maintainability, onboarding, and audit readiness.
• Optimize queries and workbook performance to ensure dashboards are responsive at enterprise data volumes.
• Support user acceptance testing and iterate on dashboard design based on structured stakeholder feedback.
• Participate in technical reviews and contribute to standards for dashboard development practices, naming conventions, and reusable components
