Full Job Description
Overview

What you’ll do

  • Build and maintain data pipelines that extract, transform, and load live product data into research-ready formats (Postgres, data lake, or analytics warehouse)

  • Design and optimize data models tailored to the recurring analyses behind our AI Impact Reports, DX Core 4 benchmarks, and industry-facing publications

  • Collaborate closely with the research and engineering teams to understand analytical requirements and translate them into scalable, reproducible data infrastructure

  • Ensure data quality and consistency: you care about definitions, edge cases, and making sure the same question gets the same answer every time

  • Support ad hoc data pulls for time-sensitive research and cross-functional requests from Sales, Customer Success, and product teams

  • Document everything - schemas, transformation logic, data dictionaries, and pipeline dependencies so that analysts and researchers can self-serve confidently

Qualifications

What we’re looking for

  • Strong SQL skills: you can write complex queries, optimize performance, and model data for analytical workloads

  • Hands-on experience with Postgres or similar relational databases, including working with semi-structured data (JSONB, nested fields)

  • Experience building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines that move data from production systems into analytics-ready formats

  • Comfort working with large, messy, real-world datasets: you know how to clean, normalize, and validate data at scale

  • Strong documentation habits: you write clear schema docs, data dictionaries, and pipeline runbooks without being asked

  • Self-motivated and reliable: you can manage recurring deadlines (e.g., quarterly reporting cycles) with minimal oversight

Nice to have:

  • Experience working with SaaS product data, telemetry, or event-driven data

  • Familiarity with developer tooling data: Git/GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket activity, CI/CD pipeline metrics, Jira issue data

  • Exposure to survey data, time-series analysis, or benchmarking methodologies

Why this role

  • High visibility: The data you shape will underpin reports cited by engineering leaders at the world's largest software organizations

  • High ownership: You'll own the full data pipeline from raw product data to research-ready datasets. 

  • Meaningful domain: You'll work at the intersection of developer experience, AI measurement, and engineering productivity, a space that's defining how the industry thinks about software development

  • Research-backed environment: Our team includes the researchers behind the DORA, SPACE, and DevEx frameworks. You'll be building the data infrastructure that makes their work possible
