The Work You’ll Do:

At Sovos, we’re building the data infrastructure that powers financial intelligence for a global tax compliance leader. As an Analytics Engineer III, you’ll own the critical business layer that sits between raw data pipelines and the finance teams who rely on accurate, timely numbers to run the business. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of data engineering and finance – where your work directly shapes how FP&A, Accounting, and Order-to-Cash teams answer their most important questions. You’ll partner closely with a Finance Analyst to define and codify core SaaS metrics, validate outputs against NetSuite actuals, and serve as the trusted data voice in the financial close cycle. And if you’re excited about what’s next, there’s a defined growth path into AI/MCP engineering as the team activates its AI data layer in Phase 2.

More specifically, you will:

•       Own the business-layer dbt models that finance teams query directly, sitting on top of the Senior Data Engineer’s pipeline infrastructure

•       Partner with the Finance Analyst to define and codify ARR, NRR, GRR, churn, and deferred revenue metric logic in dbt

•       Validate dataset outputs against NetSuite actuals and the Finance Analyst’s source of truth prior to close sign-off

•       Serve as an embedded partner in the financial close cycle – proactively flag anomalies and surface exceptions before they become close-day problems

•       Act as the primary liaison between data and finance: translate business questions into data models, and translate data outputs back into finance language for FP&A, Accounting, and OTC stakeholders

•       Own the data catalogue and documentation for all financial models, maintaining a clear source of truth for what each metric means and how it is calculated

•       Extend business-layer metric definitions to cost-side data (OPEX, COGS, commissions, ASC 340-40 capitalized software) as scope expands

•       Upskill into MCP/AI engineering in Phase 2 – build MCP server tool schemas, own AI-assisted ARR and revenue forecasting use cases, and manage the prompt library and evaluation framework that determines AI answer quality for finance use cases

What We Need From You

•       3–5 years of experience in data analytics or data engineering, with demonstrated ownership of models used in production by finance or operations teams

•       Strong SQL skills: CTEs, window functions, complex joins, and the ability to diagnose why a financial model doesn’t match expectations by reading the query

•       Production dbt experience – will work directly in the team’s dbt codebase from day one; equivalent frameworks are not sufficient

•       Fluency in the revenue data chain (Billing → ARR → Deferred Revenue → Rev Rec → Close Pack) with the ability to debate reconciliation issues directly with a Finance Analyst

•       Lived experience working with or embedded in a Finance, FP&A, or RevOps team – understands what close means, why timing matters, and what a board pack is for

•       Working knowledge of ASC 606: understands why deferred revenue exists and how recognition timing works well enough to model revenue recognition logic without constant guidance

•       Proactive approach to data quality: flags issues before they surface in close, and communicates clearly in both data and finance language

•       Demonstrated curiosity and appetite for upskilling – has picked up a new technical skill on the job and shipped something with it; genuine interest in growing into AI/MCP engineering in Phase 2

•       Preferred: Solid data modeling fundamentals: star schema, SCDs, fact vs. dimension tables, and data quality testing patterns

•       Preferred: Python for scripting, data processing, and API integration

•       Preferred: Experience with analytics or BI tools (Tableau, QuickSight, or equivalent) for consuming and validating the reporting layer

•       Preferred: Background in B2B SaaS metrics: ARR, GRR, NRR, pipeline, utilization, and invoice aging

•       Preferred: Strong accountability mindset – checks whether the numbers are right before anyone asks

•       Preferred: Ability to define what “correct” looks like for a given metric and write it down as a testable assertion

•       Nice to Have: Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar AI-to-data integration frameworks

•       Nice to Have: Cloud basics: Azure or AWS, Git, CI/CD fundamentals

•       Nice to Have: Domain knowledge in compliance, tax technology, or e-invoicing

•       Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire
