  • Lead end-to-end development of analytics products-from ingestion to visualization-that meet critically important business, product, and regulatory needs.
    Build internal frameworks and tooling to make high-quality data more accessible and actionable across the organization.
  • Collaborate with data scientists to transform raw data into meaningful insights that directly shape business and product outcomes.
    Champion analytics best practices and drive a culture of data literacy, empowering teams to expertly explore and interpret data on their own.
What you bring
  • 5+ years of experience in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, or similar field.
  • Strong expertise in advanced SQL, Python scripting, and Apache Spark (PySpark, Spark SQL) for data processing and transformation.
  • Proficiency in building, maintaining, and optimizing ETL pipelines, using modern tools like Airflow or similar.
  • Experience in building polished and performant dashboards using tools like Superset, Looker, Tableau.
  • Strong familiarity with version control (GitHub), CI/CD, and modern development workflows.
  • A strong product mentality.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, and highly multi-functional environment.
What we offer
