Data Architect designing and governing data foundations for analytics and AI applications at Clio. Collaborating cross-functionally to develop high-quality data models and standards.
Responsibilities
Design & deliver modular, production-grade data models : Translate raw data into well-tested, performant datasets and reusable building blocks for downstream consumers (analytics, dashboards, ML).
Build and govern the semantic layer : Define and maintain standardized business metrics and semantic objects so teams and AI systems share a single source of truth.
AI data strategy & unstructured data tooling : Design data lifecycles for AI use cases—ingestion, embedding, RAG, and model-centric data plumbing—and convert unstructured signals (transcripts, documents, emails) into AI-ready assets.
Model observability & lineage. Implement monitoring, lineage, and auditability so we can trace what data influenced an analytic or AI output and detect data quality regressions.
Governance & cross-team enablement. Partner with Data Engineering, RevOps, Product, and other stakeholders to set modeling standards, manage dbt access and ownership boundaries, and enable “self-service” analytics across the company.
Engineering best practices. Apply software engineering principles to the data stack: dbt or similar transformation frameworks, Git, CI/CD, environments (dev/stage/prod), testing, and code review.
Mentorship & standards. Help grow the team by setting modeling standards, reviewing peer work, and mentoring junior modelers/analysts.
Requirements
5+ years experience in data architecture, data modeling, analytics engineering, or a related role building production data models and semantic layers.
SQL expert. Able to write efficient, maintainable SQL for complex transformations and to optimize performance in a cloud warehouse.
Hands-on experience with dbt (or equivalent) and Git/CICD for data transformations and model deployment.
Proven track record designing metrics/semantic layers and ensuring a “single source of truth” for business definitions.
Experience with observability & lineage tooling, or designing data quality and audit processes for analytic/ML outputs.
Strong cross-functional communication skills; comfortable translating ambiguous business questions into reliable data artifacts and enabling non-technical consumers.
