What you will work on
- This is a full-time role (40 hours/week) for a 6-month contract
- Build and maintain an hourly gold-layer pipeline that reads a per-client Iceberg metric registry (materialized from YAML via CI) and computes base sums, compounds, and ratios, storing additive numerator/denominator pairs alongside an audit-only daily ratio
- Maintain and evolve a long-format fact table (reporting_metric_fact) with OK/ERR status marking, completeness reporting, cascade reprocessing on variant changes, and atomic commits for consistent downstream reads
