Manager Data Analytics Engineer Jobs in Maine (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer to build the trusted data foundation behind Point-of-Care analytics, reporting, and emerging AI-enabled insight generation. You'll own the transformation and semantic layer that sits between raw data infrastructure and the analysts, applications, and AI tools that consume it.

Why this role matters:

Pointofcare diagnostics generate some of the most valuable data in IDEXX, but that data is only as powerful as the models, definitions, and structure behind it. Today, analysts, applications, and emerging AI tools all depend on a trusted, wellmodeled layer to deliver accurate insights. This role builds that foundation. Your work determines how reliably our teams can analyze instrument performance, understand customer experience, and generate AIenabled insights across IDEXX's diagnostic portfolio. When the modeled layer is clean, tested, documented, and consistent, everything built on top of it becomes faster, more accurate, and more scalable.

In this Role You will:

• You'll design and maintain modeled datasets in Snowflake that support product analytics, customer experience insights, and operational reporting across IDEXX's diagnostic instrument portfolio.

• Own the transformation layer in Snowflake, building and maintaining modeled datasets (silver/gold tier) from raw and bronze-tier sources. Design for clarity, performance, and reuse.

• Build and maintain a semantic layer that makes our data discoverable and consumable by analysts, AI agents, and data catalog platforms. Embed business definitions, metric logic, and relationship metadata into the models and their documentation.

• Define, document, and help drive adoption of data modeling standards, testing practices, and documentation norms across the team's Snowflake environment. Establish patterns that analysts and engineers can follow consistently.

• Partner with our Senior Data Engineer on medallion architecture decisions, taking ownership of the transformation logic so infrastructure work can stay focused on orchestration, ingestion, and platform reliability.

• Support and extend our data catalog (Alation) by maintaining asset documentation, lineage, and discoverability. Make self-service real, not aspirational.

• Serve as a technical resource and mentor across the analytics pillar, raising the floor on SQL rigor, version control practices, and data modeling fluency.

• Engage directly with business stakeholders and cross-functional partners to understand data needs, translate them into scalable model designs, and challenge requirements when the better answer is to reshape the question.

• Help design and deploy AI-enabled workflows and agent applications against it, including automated data quality monitoring and tools that reduce repetitive analysis and recurring reporting effort across the team.

What you need to succeed:

• Deep experience with dbt or comparable transformation and versioned modeling practices. You should have strong convictions about project structure, testing strategy, and documentation standards.

• Advanced Snowflake proficiency, including performance tuning, architecture understanding, and the ability to design models that scale.

• Strong data modeling skills spanning dimensional, wide-table, and hybrid approaches.

• You choose the pattern that fits the problem, not the one you're most comfortable with.

• Git and version control as an ingrained daily practice, not an afterthought.

• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously at a senior level: scoping work, setting
  priorities, and delivering without close oversight.

• Clear, direct communication style. You can explain technical trade-offs to non-technical
  stakeholders and hold your own in architectural discussions with engineers.

• Genuine curiosity about AI and LLM tooling applied to data. You don't need to be an ML
  engineer, but you should be thinking about how structured data and metadata enable intelligent systems.

• Mindset to turn messy operational data into reusable analytical products.

• Caring about naming conventions and business definitions more than most people think is reasonable

• Experience working in environments where the data infrastructure was better than the modeled layer on top of it, and you wanted to fix that gap.

• Ability to be excited about AI not because of the hype, but because you can see how clean, well-structured data makes it actually work.

• Python for data transformation, scripting, or prototyping.

• Experience with Airflow or similar orchestration tools.

• Familiarity with data catalog platforms such as Alation, DataHub, or similar.

• Experience with warehouse-native AI features such as such as semantic models, agent frameworks, or natural language query interfaces.

• Experience building or maintaining semantic layers that serve BI tools, APIs, or agent-based systems.

• Background in enterprise environments with complex, multi-source data ecosystems.

• Exposure to veterinary diagnostics, medical devices, or healthcare data is helpful but not required.

What you can expect from us:

• Base salary range of $130,000 to $150,000 based on experience

• Opportunity for annual cash bonus

• Health / Dental / Vision Benefits Day-One

• 5% matching 401k

• Additionalbenefits including but not limited to financial support, pet insurance, mentalhealth resources, volunteer paid days off, employee stock program, foundation donationmatching, and much more
