Analytics engineer guide: weekly work, skills to test, interview questions and India vs Philippines
What an analytics engineer works on
- Build and maintain dbt models that turn raw warehouse tables into clean, tested marts
- Define metrics once so product, finance and GTM dashboards read the same number
- Write data tests for uniqueness, freshness and accepted values before anything ships
- Document models and lineage so a new analyst can find the right table in minutes
- Tune warehouse performance: incremental models, clustering and pruning unused builds
- Partner with data engineers on sources and with analysts on the questions the marts must answer
- Keep semantic layers and BI datasets in sync when business logic changes
- Review pull requests for grain mistakes, silent fanouts and missing tests before merge
- Publish a short changelog when a metric definition moves so finance and GTM stay aligned
Analytics engineering skills to test
| Skill | Signal of real depth |
|---|---|
| SQL and dbt | Uses CTEs, window functions and incremental models, and explains grain clearly |
| Dimensional modeling | Picks fact and dimension grain that survives new questions without rebuilds |
| Metric design | Writes a definition, names edge cases and stops metrics that are easy to game |
| Testing | Adds tests that catch duplicates and silent nulls before a dashboard lies |
| Performance | Cuts warehouse cost with incremental strategy and sensible materializations |
| Stakeholder work | Translates a fuzzy ask into a model contract an analyst can trust |
Interview questions and how Exordiom vets
- Two dashboards disagree on revenue. How do you settle one source of truth?
- Design a dbt model for monthly active users by plan tier.
- When do you choose incremental over table materialization?
- A metric changed definition mid-quarter. How do you version it?
- Show a test suite you would add before merging a mart.
- Tell us about a model rewrite that made a business decision possible.
Red flags: marts with no tests, metrics defined only in a BI tool, silent full-refreshes that blow the warehouse bill, and docs nobody can find.
Every analytics engineer we introduce is already shipping dbt work for another team today. An AI screen covers SQL, grain and metric design, then recruiters score judgment and communication. Once they start, Hypercare covers weeks 1 and 2 closely, then settles into a monthly rhythm from week 6.
India vs Philippines for analytics engineers
As of Nov 5, 2026, India has a growing analytics engineering pool: Huron is hiring an analytics engineer in Bangalore, Citi wants a senior data and analytics engineer in Pune, Pure Storage lists data and analytics roles in Bangalore, and Fivetran staffs dbt core engineering in Bangalore. The Philippines is active too: Netskope is hiring a data analytics engineer in Taguig, and Maya wants a senior analytics engineer in Mandaluyong. In both markets your analytics engineer works your full US workday.
