Sitting at the intersection of data engineering and business intelligence, this role contributes across the full analytics stack - from dbt model design and data quality to Omni BI dashboards - and partners with the Assurance Business to surface insights on arbitration risk and product initiatives.\nA key objective of this role is reducing ad-hoc analytical bottlenecks over time. You will be expected to answer urgent business questions quickly and directly, while systematically building the underlying dbt models, metric definitions, and BI layer in a way that enables self-serve analytics - including AI-assisted querying - so that business stakeholders can answer common questions themselves.\nAnalytics Modeling & Data Quality\nDesign, build, and maintain dbt models (staging, intermediate, production layers) that serve as the single source of truth for Assurance KPIs, with machine-readability in mind\nEnforce data quality through dbt tests, source freshness checks, and documentation so downstream consumers can trust what they see\nWrite complex SQL transformations on large datasets; optimize for cost and performance\nReporting & BI\nTranslate business questions into well-scoped analytical requirements; define metrics in collaboration with Assurance stakeholders and keep definitions governed in our semantic layer\nBuild upon our Omni BI semantic layer, enabling self-serve chat and dealer-facing embedded reporting\nBalance responsiveness to ad-hoc requests while optimizing via building: triage what should be answered once vs. what should be codified so stakeholders or AI tools can self-serve it in the future\nDeliver clear, compelling data narratives to non-technical stakeholders; support follow-on questions and iterate quickly\nAssurance Business Domains\nRisk: support the business in developing data, predictive, and forecasting models that identify high-risk dealer and vehicle populations to support program management strategy\nProduct: develop dealer-facing dashboards that illustrate their arbitration trends over time\nProject Ownership & Stakeholder Partnership\nExecute scoped projects with general guidance: define approach and timelines with input from a manager or senior team member, and drive day-to-day execution independently\nDeliver data-driven recommendations\nNavigate competing priorities across multiple stakeholder groups; propose win-win solutions when technical requirements conflict\nWhat you will need:\nEducation\nBA/BS in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or related\nMaster's or Ph.D. a plus, but offset by demonstrated experience and a deep toolbox\nExperience\n3+ years of professional experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or BI\nHands-on production experience with dbt (model design, testing, documentation, incremental strategies)\nExpert-level SQL; comfortable with window functions, complex joins, and query optimization in BigQuery or a comparable cloud warehouse\nExperience delivering analytical initiatives independently, from scoping through stakeholder presentation\nExperience with Git-based version control workflows\nSoft Skills\nExcellent communicator with a strong attention to detail; genuinely curious about the business and willing to dig into the specifics to get things right\nCollaborative, low-ego, and invested in the team's collective output\nStrong instinct for knowing when to answer quickly vs. when to build properly\nCommunicates analytical findings clearly to non-technical audiences\nComfortable navigating ambiguity\nNice-to-Haves\nProficiency building semantic layers; Omni or Looker BI experience preferred, but similar experience considered\nExperience with Google Cloud Platform\nFamiliarity with AI-assisted analytics or developer workflows\nExperience with binary classification and/or loss forecasting","description_format":"text","description_chars":4013,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Auctions","Marketplaces"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T12:09:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":6,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":82500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.436,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":65,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/acv-auctions-analytics-engineer-iii-assurance-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/acv-auctions-analytics-engineer-iii-assurance-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T19:47:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":943,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":179324},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=179324"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Facv-auctions-analytics-engineer-iii-assurance-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Facv-auctions-analytics-engineer-iii-assurance-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Facv-auctions-analytics-engineer-iii-assurance-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/acv-auctions-analytics-engineer-iii-assurance-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Facv-auctions-analytics-engineer-iii-assurance-2"}]}
