Lead Data Engineer - Competitive Intelligence

About

I build data products and analytics infrastructure that sales and commercial teams rely on to make decisions and close deals. At LinkedIn, I work inside the analytics function for a GTM sales intelligence platform used by 5,600 field reps, linked to $3.1B in annual bookings. I own everything from data pipeline architecture and ETL design to Tableau dashboards, self-service reporting, and executive stakeholder communication. Over 10+ years, I've worked across the full analytics stack: • Data products: Built a unified metric framework of 8,781 mappings across 550 tables - the org's first consistent revenue and engagement source of truth across business divisions • BI & reporting: Built operational dashboards (Tableau + Airflow) that cut reporting latency 40%; maintain 33 insight products and ~40 dashboards used by GTM field teams in live customer conversations • ETL & pipelines: Designed Airflow pipelines delivering ~2,000 automated weekly outputs; led a full database platform migration across 400+ datasets with zero downstream disruption • Data governance: Reduced 5,000+ datasets to 1,200 through automated lineage analysis; established the org's first GDPR/DMA compliance baseline • Team enablement: Delivered a 13-session training program for 35+ product managers globally; authored runbooks enabling self-service operation across distributed teams without engineering escalation I work cross-functionally with Engineering, Data Science, Product, Finance, and Ops — and present analytical roadmaps and investment recommendations directly to Sales VPs and Directors.
