• Customer 360 & C-MDM Modeling: Design, build, and optimize scalable dimensional models (Kimball methodology) and One Big Table (OBT) datasets in Google BigQuery that unify core banking records, digital session logs, and touchpoints into a trusted, bank-wide customer master (C-MDM) and single source of truth.
• Identity Resolution, Governance & Attribution: Establish robust customer identity mapping and multi-touch marketing attribution models across diverse platforms, while championing master data management (C-MDM) principles, data quality, and governance across all customer data pipelines.
• Semantic Layer & Master Data Development: Formalize bank-wide customer entities, core segmentations, and Critical Data Elements (CDEs)—such as Active User definitions (DAU/MAU), primary operating account status, feature adoption, and dormancy thresholds—to align business and technical definitions under a unified C-MDM framework.
• Scalable ELT Pipelines: Design, deploy, and maintain resilient ELT/ETL pipelines (using SQL, Python, and orchestration tools) to ingest, clean, and enrich raw customer interaction data, API payloads, and core snapshot tables.
• Downstream Marketing & Activation Sync: Engineer reliable pipelines and reverse-ETL workflows that sync enriched customer traits, behavioral events, and engagement tiers directly into marketing automation platforms (e.g., Braze) and CRM systems to power automated lifecycle campaigns.
• Data Quality & Observability: Implement automated testing, anomaly detection, and schema validation across customer data pipelines to guarantee platform accuracy, uptime, and alerting.
• Customer Journey & Cohort Dashboards: Design and maintain intuitive, executive-ready Tableau dashboards focusing on customer acquisition funnels, retention curves, product penetration, churn indicators, and deposit velocity.
• Storytelling with Data: Translate complex, multi-layered data into clear, actionable narratives that answer the "so what?" for business line leaders and product managers.
• Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and tune BigQuery queries and Tableau extracts to ensure rapid workbook performance and cost-efficient query processing.
• Strategic Growth Partner: Collaborate closely with Marketing, Product, and Business Line leaders to translate business hypotheses into quantitative frameworks and tracking requirements.
• Data Stewardship & Literacy: Champion data governance best practices, document customer data lineages and KPI definitions in the Data Steward Playbook, and coach end-users on self-service data discovery.

What you need:

• Experience: 2–4+ years of hands-on experience in a hybrid data role such as Analytics Engineer, Customer Data Engineer, BI Developer, or Marketing Data Engineer.
• Advanced SQL & BigQuery: Expert-level SQL skills, including advanced analytical window functions, complex CTEs, array/struct unnesting, and performance tuning within cloud data warehouses (Google BigQuery strongly preferred).
• Dimensional & Event Data Modeling: Strong experience with Kimball dimensional modeling, star schemas, and structuring behavioral/event-based data models.
• Tableau Expertise: Deep proficiency in Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server/Cloud, including Level of Detail (LOD) expressions, parameters, and thoughtful dashboard UX/UI design principles.
• Python for Data Engineering: Demonstrated experience using Python for data transformation, API integrations, and workflow automation.
• Customer Analytics Acumen: Strong conceptual understanding of customer lifecycle metrics: Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Lifetime Value (LTV), cohort retention, churn hazard rates, and marketing attribution funnels.
• Communication & Collaboration: Proven track record of presenting complex data insights to non-technical stakeholders and driving cross-functional alignment.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
