Analytics Engineer

TEKsystems, San Francisco, CA, United States


We are seeking an Analytics Engineer to support the development of a semantic modeling and metrics layer powering analytics across Data Cloud and Tableau. This role sits between Data Engineering and Product Analytics and focuses on enabling trusted, reusable, and business‑ready data for dashboards, AI insights, and downstream analytics.

This role is not primarily dashboard‑focused. Instead, you will contribute to the design and maintenance of semantic models, metric definitions, and relationships that allow product and business teams to self‑serve analytics with confidence.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the design and maintenance of semantic models and governed metrics

Translate curated data objects into business‑ready dimensions and KPIs

Help define and document metric logic, calculations, and definitions for reuse

Support consistency of metrics across dashboards and analytics use cases

Assist with configuring and validating relationships between modeled data objects

Review and validate AI‑suggested or automated relationships for analytical correctness

Collaborate with data and product teams to align on modeling conventions

Support governance practices for the semantic layer to ensure data consistency and reuse

Help document business logic, metric definitions, and modeling patterns

Partner with Product, Analytics, and Engineering teams as requirements evolve

Learn and stay current with Tableau‑related modeling and semantic capabilities

Follow and contribute to best practices as analytics platforms evolve

Must Haves

Experience with Tableau, including work with shared or published data sources

Understanding of semantic layer concepts (centralized definitions, reusable metrics, consistent logic)

Familiarity working with data modeling concepts beyond visualization (metrics, joins, business logic)

Strong data literacy and curiosity about how analytics impacts business decisions

Nice to Have

Experience with Salesforce Data Cloud (Data 360) concepts, including:

Data Model Objects (DMOs)

Data Lake Objects (DLOs)

Calculated Insights (CIOs)

Familiarity with Tableau Semantics, Tableau Next concepts, or semantic modeling tools

Interest in governed analytics or AI‑assisted modeling platforms

Background as an Analytics Engineer (dbt‑style mindset), NOT just a dashboard developer
