## About this task

This Growth-stage corporate card and spend platform for freelancers (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a specialist SQL & ETL Support for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 10–24 h a month. Builds clean, tested models from raw tables.

A named list of recurring items keeps the month predictable for both sides. It operates in regulated payments and lending, so a written trail for every decision matters.

The team sits in Santa Monica. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

## What you deliver

- Build staging and mart models for subscriptions with tests and documentation.

- A month-end summary with hours used against the cap

- A running log of open questions, reviewed at the start of each week

- A named list of items moved to next month, so nothing is lost

## What a month looks like

- Week 1: intake call and a list of what is due this month

- Weeks 2 and 3: items completed in short sessions

- Week 4: month-end summary and the list for next month

**Duration:** 8 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

## Tools

dbt SQL Snowflake

## Who fits
