Your day-to-day as a Senior Data Engineer

You will help teams understand what metrics are important for them and how they can measure and use them. Which events in a user journey are relevant and how we can learn from them.

In this role, you will be responsible for the data warehouses and make sure important information is handled correctly and available to make data driven decisions across the business.
