  • Work with stakeholders and end users to build new features and make current datasets easier to use and understand
  • Own maintenance of analytics workflows by identifying and resolving issues and errors, staying up-to-date with latest developments
  • Enrich datasets using internal and external APIs so that we can bring the most actionable data possible to our clients
  • Bring product-focused thinking to the problems you solve and scale solutions up to our whole team

What You Bring
  • 2-3 years of experience in the technical skillset mentioned below
  • Proficiency in SQL, writing queries with complex logic
  • Experience building data pipelines with Airflow and dbt (or similar frameworks)
  • Knowledgeable in cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery
  • Familiarity with analytics data modeling (Star Schema, Data Vault, etc), and data intensive system design
  • Familiarity building, testing, and deploying data applications with cloud provider offerings like AWS, GCP or Azure (Infrastructure as Code tools, like Cloudformation or Terraform, is a plus)
  • Familiarity with MLOps and deploying batch prediction pipelines using tools like MLflow, Airflow, or ECS is a plus
  • Great time management skills to prioritize between tasks
  • Excited to collaborate with data analysts and subject matter experts alike
  • Excellent attention to detail
