• Build best-in-class data products in Looker for internal stakeholders and clients, applying strong data visualization and UI/UX principles.
• Design LookML for scale and performance, partnering with Analytics Engineering on aggregate layer tuning and query optimization, and deploy and govern LookML across multiple Looker instances.
