~The MetaData & AnalyticsAnalytics Engineer

Analytics Engineer

Analytics Engineers at AI infrastructure companies shape how their organizations reason about product performance, infrastructure efficiency, and customer value through clean, well-documented data models and metrics layers. They spend their days writing SQL and dbt to transform raw events from AI platforms—GPU utilization, inference costs, model performance, billing data—into trusted datasets that power dashboards, experiments, and strategic decisions. What sets this role apart from pure data engineering is the focus on business metrics and stakeholder enablement; these engineers are equally comfortable explaining revenue recognition logic to Finance teams as they are optimizing query costs or designing dimensional schemas. They typically report into data or analytics leadership and partner closely with Product, GTM, and Engineering to translate ambiguous questions into scalable data infrastructure that lets non-technical users self-serve insights.
