About Netwrix Access Analyzer

Netwrix Access Analyzer is a Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform. It discovers where data lives across enterprise estates—Active Directory and LocalGroups identity, CIFS/SMB file shares, SharePoint Online, and more, and tells security teams what is sensitive data, who can reach it, how, and where that exposure could be dangerous. Our customers are CISOs, compliance and data-governance leaders, and the security analysts who live in the product day to day. They don’t want a data dump; they want answers: who has access to this sensitive share, which groups are stale or over-permissioned, where is data open to everyone, etc.

The Data Team

Data’s charter: provide world-class data storage, reporting, analytics, and visualization capabilities that enable customers to understand and act on their data security posture. That means owning the ClickHouse warehouse, the Metabase analytics tier (pre-built and self-service reporting) and the data infrastructure makes sure our application data layer scales as customer data volumes climbs.

You’ll go deep on both the data-engineering side (ClickHouse schema, ingestion correctness, materialized-view performance and scale) and the analytics side (Metabase reporting, embedding, self-service), prioritizing pragmatically rather than splitting attention evenly. You set the technical bar, build the automations and Claude configurations that let anyone (including AI) contribute safely. If you want to own an area end-to-end and shape how it’s built, this is it.

What You’ll Own / Key Responsibilities

- ClickHouse schema, data model, and migrations

- Materialized views, performance, and scale

- Data ingestion, lifecycle & operability

- Building reports and analytics via Metabase

- Enablement & data storytelling

What We’re NOT Asking You To Own

While we don’t ask you to own these, we of course welcome you to be apart of them (and encourage you to!):

- Connectors, the connector framework, or scan logic (what we call Discovery)

- Detection, classification, risk scoring, and other security posture calculations. You materialize, report, and scale these correctly; you don’t have to author the domain logic that decides what they mean.

- The PostgreSQL application database. It’s adjacent for your information, but not your center of gravity.

- The core application, orchestration services, etc. The Core team is responsible for the application up until it connects to Metabase.

Required Qualifications

- 5+ years in data/analytics engineering, including prior tech-lead experience, with meaningful time owning an OLAP database in production. ClickHouse is ideal; Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake, and others may be acceptable.

- Deep SQL and analytical-engine fluency preferred. An understanding of materialized views, partitioning, and OLAP database design design are important.

- Demonstrated ability to diagnose and structurally fix performance and memory problems at scale. OOMs, read amplification, runaway joins, recursive/graph queries, and more.

- Strong BI/reporting** experience: dashboards and a report-facing lay
