In today\'s world, traditional banking practices and conventional lenders have failed to keep pace with innovation. People deserve better financial services. At Salmon, we recognized this gap and decided to shake things up.

Led by a dynamic team of financial professionals and entrepreneurs, and backed by world-class investors, Salmon is on a mission to revolutionize financial services. We’ve built a business capable of raising over $60MM from the ADQ (the sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi), World Bank Group, and other investors — despite a challenging market. Through innovative technology, intuitive product design, robust security measures, advanced data analytics, and unwavering dedication to customer saisfaction, we\'re redefining what it means to bank in the modern era.

We are building Salmon to become a financial technology business that works impeccably 24x365, providing easy access to finance for millions of Filipinos. We aim to foster financial inclusivity and empowerment with our customers.

We thrive on challenges and opportunities for growth. Our team is constantly seeking individuals with sharp analytical minds and a knack for innovation. If you\'re someone who loves tackling complex problems and isn\'t afraid to voice your ideas, then Salmon is the perfect place for you.

As an Analytics Engineer at Salmon, you will play a pivotal role in Data Modeling & Transformation (Databricks Silver & Gold Layers). You will work closely with Data Scientists, Engineers, and Business System Analysts to ensure that datasets align with business needs.

Data Modeling & Transformation

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data models in Databricks silver (curated data) and gold (business-ready data) layers.
• Define clear data contracts between silver and gold to ensure consistency and reliability.
• Apply best practices for dimensional modeling (star/snowflake schemas) to support analytics and reporting.

ETL/ELT Development

• Develop and optimize transformation pipelines (PySpark/SQL/Delta Live Tables/Databricks Workflows) to process data from bronze → silver → gold.
• Implement incremental data processing strategies to minimize compute cost and improve pipeline performance.
• Ensure data quality checks (validations, anomaly detection, deduplication, SCD handling, etc.) are built into transformations.

Data Quality & Governance

• Establish and maintain data quality metrics (completeness, accuracy, timeliness) for silver and gold tables.
• Apply data governance standards — consistent naming conventions, documentation, and tagging across datasets.
• Collaborate with data platform engineers to enforce lineage and observability.

Business Enablement

• Work closely with analysts and business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into gold-layer datasets.
• Build reusable, business-friendly datasets that power dashboards, self-service BI tools, and advanced analytics.

Performance & Optimization

• Optimize Databricks SQL queries and Delta Lake performance (Z-ordering, clustering, partitioning).
• Monitor and tune workloads to control compute spend on silver and gold pipelines.
• Implement best practices for caching, indexing, and incremental updates.
• Partner with data scientists, platform engineers, and business analysts to ensure gold datasets meet business needs.
• Follow software engineering practices — version control (Git), CI/CD for data pipelines, code reviews, and testing.
• Contribute to the development of a shared analytics engineering framework (naming standards, reusable templates, testing frameworks).
