Who You Are

First, you’re a full stack data person. You know the perils of CSV formats and you’ve had to rinse and clean more than your fair share of data. You’re fluent in SQL, Data Visualization and Dashboarding. You know that all data is uncertain and there is measurement error in everything. You love to learn. You thrive by helping companies become faster, better-informed and more confident in their data-driven decisions.

There’s a reason this section is first. Truly it’s the very most important part of the role. It’s central to who we are as a team and how we bring value to the company.

• You know how to think, act and own
• You understand that when you build things, sometimes you break things
• You are able to work independently; and you know the power of a team
  

What You’ll Do

This is the sixth person to join our team. Working across a variety of problem spaces, you’ll bring understanding to our data - measuring how it’s behaving and how our products are performing. From that platform, you'll start developing quantitative knowledge in our ecosystem. Your work will inform almost every aspect of our business, and will be visible throughout our community. It will give our customers and partners unprecedented visibility into their portfolios on our platform.
As our team grows, you’ll mentor the folk who come after you. You'll continue to help our internal stakeholders understand and use the results of your analysis and experimentation to better inform our business decisions.

What You’ll Bring

• Your work background:
• 5+ years’ of professional experience as a Data Analyst/Data Engineer
• Experience being part of a small team being built from the ground up
• Ability to think through problems and develop solutions quickly as a phenomenal problem solver
• Solid technical background; experience with working on systems that process imperfect data.
• Results-oriented; someone who knows how to get the job done regardless of circumstance
• Your technical background:
• Strong expertise in SQL (or equivalent)
• Deep experience with one or more data Visualization tools - we use Metabase, but Looker, Tableau, Matplotlib or Mode are all relevant alternatives. You’ll have designed dashboards for many different internal stakeholders. You know what it takes to cause data not simply to inform but to inspire action.
• Problem Solver: Ability to think through unstructured problems, break them down, propose and validate solutions, and execute
• Your data background:
• Experience sourcing, validating, and cleaning your own data, as well as working across teams to design new data collection structures to fill gaps in current data collection
• Experience with working on systems that process imperfect data
• Your education background:
• It doesn’t matter where -- or if -- you went to school. What matters is that you have “Science Thinking” and you’re meticulous & curious

What's a Plus

• We don’t do that. Anything else you have is a plus. Everything you want to learn is a plus. Come as you are. We want to help you become a better version of yourself

What Else We'd Love to Learn About You

• Slides from prior public/scholastic presentations, challenges or tests
• Hobby projects

Also: it’s ok if you don’t have anything like this. None of what we’re describing are barriers. Everything is about getting to know you better.
