Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Datamart / Semantic Layer Designer & Modeler to design business-oriented data models and semantic layers on top of Teradata EDW. This is a business-focused role requiring strong dimensional modeling expertise, business acumen, deep understanding of KPIs, telecommunications domain knowledge, and product thinking to deliver analytics solutions that drive business value.
Experience Required
Minimum 5+ years in datamart design, dimensional modeling, and semantic layer development.
Core Responsibilities
- Dimensional Modeling & Datamart Design – Design and develop star schema and snowflake schema dimensional models on Teradata EDW; create subject-area datamarts (Customer, Revenue, Network, Product, Finance) optimized for business analytics; design fact tables (transaction, snapshot, accumulating) with appropriate grain and measures; develop dimension tables, conformed dimensions, bridge tables, and hierarchies; implement slowly changing dimensions (SCD Types 1, 2, 3) and aggregate tables for performance; maintain strong expertise in dimensional modeling best practices and design patterns.
- Semantic Layer Development – Design and implement semantic layers on Teradata using TIBCO and Trino; create business-friendly abstractions that hide technical complexity from end users; define business entities, relationships, metrics, KPIs, and calculated measures; implement business logic, calculations, and data access policies; develop views, materialized views, and virtual tables for semantic consumption.
- Business Requirements & KPI Definition – Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand analytics, reporting, and decision-making needs; define and document business KPIs, metrics, and performance indicators with business context; translate business requirements into dimensional models and semantic layer specifications; apply product thinking to design analytics solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes; create business glossary and maintain business metadata aligned with business terminology.
- Technical Implementation & Optimization – Work with Teradata for datamart and semantic layer implementation; develop semantic models using TIBCO Data Virtualization and Trino for distributed queries; optimize query performance through indexing (PI, SI), partitioning, aggregations, and caching; implement row-level security and data governance policies in semantic layer; collaborate with EDW designers, ETL teams, BI developers, and business users.
