Analytics Engineer (6 months contract)

Description

We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer to build the data foundations that enable Huckberry’s teams to answer their own questions. You’ll be designing and building the semantic layer, dimensional models, and tested dbt projects that turn raw data into reliable, self-serve reporting through Hex + Claude.

You’ll work closely with the Data Manager and the rest of the data team to establish modeling conventions, implement testing and documentation standards, and build the data models that power dashboards, business logic, and operational workflows across the company.

This is a remote contract position based in South America. Time zone overlap with Austin, TX (Central Time) is expected.

Responsibilities

• Design and build dimensional models and semantic layers in dbt on top of BigQuery
  

• Write clean, well-documented, and tested dbt models that serve as the single source of truth for business metrics
  

• Build and maintain data pipelines and transformations that support self-serve BI through Hex + Claude
  

• Work with Stitch and Fivetran ingestion pipelines to understand source data and model it for downstream consumption
  

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate reporting requirements into reliable data models
  

• Document data models, business logic, and metric definitions so non-technical users can confidently self-serve
  

• 2+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or a related technical data role
  

• Solid working knowledge of dbt: building and maintaining models, writing tests, using sources and documentation features
  

• Experience with BigQuery or a comparable cloud data warehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift)
  

• Familiarity with at least one data ingestion tool (Stitch, Fivetran, Airbyte, or similar)
  

• Comfortable working with Python for data scripting and light pipeline work
  

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills — this role requires regular collaboration with a US-based team
  

• Familiarity with Hex, reverse ETL tools (Hightouch), or data feed platforms (GoDataFeed) is a plus
  

• E-commerce data experience (orders, inventory, marketing attribution, customer lifecycle) is a strong plus
