Senior Analytics Engineer

Data Office — Senior Analytics Engineer

Description du poste

Lightspeed's Data Office is hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to design and own the data models that drive decisions across financial performance, GTM activities, and product insights. You'll partner with stakeholders across Finance, Revenue Ops, Marketing, and Product to deliver the analytics foundation the business runs on.

If you are someone who enjoys building data pipelines that power real business decisions and want to design canonical models that unify fragmented source systems across multiple CRMs, ERPs, and product platforms, then this role is for you. You can sit down with Finance to talk revenue recognition or with Product to map activation funnels, and walk away with a clear data model in your head. You hold a high bar on quality, push back constructively when it matters, and don't wait to be handed a well-defined problem. You scope the work, drive it to completion, and bring others along.

Ce que vous serez responsable de

• Design and build the data models that power the business: financial reporting (GTV, MRR, revenue recognition), GTM analytics, and product and operational insights

• Design for scale and maintainability while staying pragmatic, shipping incremental value, gathering feedback, and iterating as you go

• Turn ambiguous business requirements from Finance, Revenue Ops, Marketing, and Product teams into well-scoped technical solutions with effort estimates

• Collaborate across our Hub & Spoke architecture, partnering with upstream data owner teams, downstream Looker/LookML developers, and other domain pods (Retail, Hospo, Operations) to design models that work end-to-end

• Treat documentation as a first-class deliverable: column descriptions, model contracts, and architectural notes that power both human reviewers and AI/LLM-assisted workflows

• Diagnose root problems, not symptoms, and drive systemic fixes rather than one-off patches

• Own pipeline health end-to-end: monitor proactively, lead incident response, and surface risks before they become delivery problems

• Autonomously manage personal sprint commitments and contribute to team-level planning, including task breakdown, effort estimation, and priority sequencing

• Mentor junior engineers through coaching, code reviews, and technical sessions, and set the bar for what good looks like

Ce que vous apporterez à l’équipe

• Expert-level SQL: query performance, clean, maintainable code, and advanced analytical techniques (e.g. window functions)

• Proven experience designing enterprise-grade dimensional models on modern cloud data warehouses such as BigQuery or Snowflake, including partitioning, incremental patterns, and performance optimization

• Hands-on experience modelling SaaS / CRM / ERP source systems such as Salesforce or NetSuite, with a clear understanding of how their object models translate into clean dimensional schemas

• Proven Dataform or dbt expertise in production: materializations, incremental strategies, snapshots, and macros

• You communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, clarifying needs, surfacing tradeoffs, and driving alignment

• A security and compliance mindset: GDPR, SOX, and data access controls are part of the job, not an afterthought

Quelques éléments supplémentaires qui seraient un plus

• CI/CD experience (e.g. GitHub Actions): automated testing, linting, and deployment workflows

• Python or JavaScript for data engineering tooling

• LookML or equivalent semantic layer experience

• Familiarity with data contracts for pipeline validation

• Experience using AI/LLM-assisted tooling to accelerate development workflows: code generation, documentation, debugging, or review

• Revenue/finance domain knowledge (ARR, MRR, NetSuite, revenue arrangements)

Ce qui est prévu pour vous

• Real ownership: you'll own canonical data models that leadership relies on, with the autonomy to design them properly and the influence to evolve team standards

• A modern, well-maintained stack (Dataform, BigQuery, Looker, GitHub Actions, OpenCode) with active investment in developer experience and tooling

• High-quality peers who care about craft, code reviews that make you better, and time to do things the right way

• Direct line of sight to business impact: your work powers conversations with the CFO, GTM leadership, and Product teams

• A growing Data Office at a publicly traded company headquartered in Montreal
