- Work with a wide range of cross-functional stakeholders to derive requirements and architect shared datasets; ability to document, simplify and explain complex problems to different types of audiences.
- Establish best practices for the development of specialized data sets for analytics and modeling.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 4+ years in a relevant field.
- Fluency with both SQL and Python.
- Familiarity with Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, and ETL/reverse ETL tools.
- Excellent judgment and creative problem solving skills.
- A self-starting mindset along with strong communication and collaboration skills.
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Knowledge in data modeling methodologies to design and build robust data architectures for insightful analytics.
- Experience with business systems such as Salesforce, Customer IO, Stripe, NetSuite is a big plus.
