About Caravelo

Caravelo is seeking an Analytics Engineer / Data Modeller to join our Platform Team and lead a full revamp of our data-modeling layer using a modern ELT stack (dbt + cloud warehouse). In this startup-casual environment, you’ll design scalable dimensional schemas, build and automate dbt pipelines, own CI/CD and orchestration, and establish data-governance practices that set us up for future AI initiatives.

You’ll work closely with product managers, software engineers, and data analysts to ensure our data is reliable, well-documented, and accessible, enabling Caravelo to deliver next-generation travel experiences.

Duties and responsibilities

Architect Data Models: Design and implement star/snowflake schemas to support core product metrics (e.g. revenue by product line, incremental revenue analysis churn cohorts, LTV).
Build ETL Pipelines: Develop dbt projects with staging layers, incremental models, snapshots, and seed tables.
Automate Quality: Configure sqlfluff linting and dbt tests (uniqueness, not_null, custom assertions) in CI pipelines so merges pass automatically.
Own Orchestration: Define job graphs, retries, backfill strategies, and feature-flag controls to meet nightly data-freshness SLAs.
Governance & Security: Implement PII-safe modeling patterns, maintain data lineage documentation, and enforce data-privacy controls.
Collaboration & Mentorship: Partner with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, review code, and mentor junior engineers on best practices.
Continuous Improvement: Identify and drive process improvements: optimizing performance, reducing cost, and embedding scalability for AI use cases.

Required skills and experience

3+ years in analytics engineering or data modeling roles
Mastery of SQL (CTEs, window functions, performance tuning)
Hands-on experience with dbt (models, tests, snapshots, incremental)
Familiarity with Git-based CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and sqlfluff or similar
Appetite to adopt AI coding workflows and ways of working.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues.
Collaborative attitude, open to feedback, and committed to raising the bar for the entire Platform Team.
