Senior Data Engineer / Analytics Engineer
Harnham is seeking a Senior Data Engineering / Analytics Engineering Contractor to build and own foundational data assets that power analytics and reporting. The role involves designing clean data models, developing Snowflake + dbt data models, and ensuring data readiness for analytics and machine learning.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and own core customer and machine data assets, including:
Canonical customer and machine records (with historical tracking)

Develop and maintain Snowflake + dbt data models that serve as trusted, reusable foundations
Architect backend data flows that support:
Complex, non-linear integrations across many systems
Bidirectional and evolving data patterns
Establish pragmatic data governance:
Clear naming, structure, and standards
Enough rigor to create order and trust-without slowing teams down
Create a clean, well-defined frontend data layer that syncs reliably across systems
Deliver both:
Foundational datasets for broad reuse
Lightweight "on top" outputs (e.g., simple dashboards) to validate and showcase the data
Ensure data is analytics and ML-ready, enabling future advanced modeling and experimentation
