- Partner with engineering and product on DB scaling decisions driven by client demand
- Maintain documentation on query optimization wins, capacity thresholds, and vendor contract utilization

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Analytics, Statistics or related field
- Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Finance and Sales teams

- Strong SQL skills required; experience with Trino and/or BigQuery required
- Tableau or Looker for self-serve dashboards and operational reporting: BI Tools
