Who You AreWe are hiring a dedicated R&D Analytics Engineer to help build and scale the data and AI foundation of our enterprise SaaS business.
Reporting to the Sr. Director of AI & Analytics within our centralized Operations organization, this is a highly hands-on role focused on architecting scalable analytics systems and AI-enabled workflows that power decision-making across the company.
You will design the core data models, architecture, and reusable assets that serve Product, Engineering & Design - while helping redefine what an analytics function looks like in the age of AI.
This is a foundational hire with high ownership and long-term growth potential.
What You'll Do1. Enterprise Data Modeling & Architecture- Design and maintain scalable dbt data models in Snowflake that serve as trusted sources of truth across the business
- Architect data pipelines and transformation workflows using Fivetran and modern ELT practices
- Develop durable, extensible data assets that evolve as the company scales
- Establish modeling standards, documentation practices, and governance frameworks
- Partner with RevOps and Finance to define and operationalize core SaaS metrics (ARR, retention, expansion, pipeline, etc.)
2. AI-Enabled Systems & Workflow Integration- Build data foundations that power internal AI applications and LLM-enabled workflows
- Prototype and productionize AI-driven operational use cases
- Integrate analytics and AI into everyday workflows using tools such as Notion, Cursor, Glean, and other emerging platforms
- Design systems that embed data directly into operational processes - not just dashboards
3. Cross-Functional Analytics Infrastructure- Partner with leaders across Sales, CS, Marketing, Finance, Product, and Engineering to translate business needs into scalable technical systems
- Create reusable data assets that enable activation via Hightouch and analysis via Omni
- Ensure architecture is scalable, secure, and adaptable to evolving enterprise requirements
Our StackAnalytics: Fivetran, dbt, Snowflake, Hightouch, Omni
AI & Knowledge Systems: Notion, Cursor, Glean
Experience with these tools is helpful but not required. Strong fundamentals and the ability to quickly learn new technologies matter more than prior tool exposure.
What We're Looking For- Experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or similar hands-on roles
- Strong SQL skills and deep understanding of modern data modeling (dimensional modeling, transformations, data contracts, etc.)
- Experience building in cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, etc.)
- Comfort working in a fast-moving, evolving AI tooling landscape
- Systems-level thinker who designs for scalability, extensibility, and flexibility
- Naturally curious and energized by solving ambiguous problems
- Pride in building clean, durable architecture - not just shipping quick fixes
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across business and technical teams
Why This Role MattersWe are not building a traditional BI function.
We are building an AI-augmented analytics capability that:
- Embeds data into operational workflows
- Enables faster, smarter enterprise decision-making
- Evolves as AI tooling evolves
- Treats architecture as a strategic asset, not a back-office utility
You won't just build dashboards - you will help shape how analytics and AI power our company over the next several years.
