Senior Analytics Engineer (Platform - Financial Analytics)

Coinbase is a company dedicated to increasing economic freedom and is seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer to join their Platform team. The role involves building scalable data models and pipelines that enhance analytics and decision-making across the organization.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end data modeling for assigned business domains, from understanding source system data flows through designing modular, reusable models (star/snowflake schemas) that serve as the single source of truth for downstream teams
• Build and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines using modern tools like dbt and Airflow, ensuring data quality, reliability, and performance at scale across Snowflake or similar warehouse architectures
• Partner with Engineering, Product, and Data Science teams to identify data gaps, define requirements, and deliver data products that directly enable experimentation, ad hoc analysis, and business metric optimization
• Develop scalable abstractions and frameworks (UDFs, Python packages, internal data apps) that multiply the efficiency of other data teams and reduce time-to-insight across the organization
• Design and deliver dashboards and visualization layers using tools like Looker or Tableau, translating complex data into clear, actionable views for cross-functional stakeholders

Requirements:

• 5+ years in analytics engineering or data engineering with demonstrated expertise in designing modular data models and building production ETL/ELT pipelines using dbt, Airflow, or similar
• Advanced SQL proficiency for complex transformations and query optimization, plus intermediate-to-advanced Python for scripting, automation, and building scalable frameworks
• Production experience with modern data warehouse architectures (Snowflake, Databricks) including performance tuning, data quality monitoring, and version-controlled development workflows (GitHub, CI/CD)
• Proven track record delivering data solutions that generated measurable business impact, with the ability to independently build domain expertise and communicate technical trade-offs to Product, Engineering, and business stakeholders
• Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality
• OOP experience preferred
• Experience with prompt engineering for LLMs (e.g., GPT), including designing and optimizing prompts for internal tooling and automation use cases
