About the Analytics Engineer

In this role, you will build the tools and processes necessary to ensure quality and reliability of the data Trove’s innovative single-sku processing technology depends on. Our core products leverage and augment our partners’ existing product catalogs to power Trove’s internal operations as well as our partners’ resale and trade-in storefronts. As an Analytics Engineer focused on Catalog Integration, you will drive improvements in the catalog ingestion processes, identify catalog-driven improvements to the ecommerce customer experience, enable operational efficiencies within Trove, and help improve our broader data platform’s reliability, resiliency, and scalability. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and analysis, and will provide opportunities to build both tools and processes, and continually analyze catalog data to improve outcomes.

This position will be a part of the Catalog Integration function, sitting on a broader Data Engineering team, including Machine Learning Engineers and other Analytics Engineers. The Catalog Integration function is empowered to solve problems and make business recommendations independently, but also collaborates to design creative solutions to tough problems, offer and receive constructive feedback, and pair on thorny technical challenges. In this role, you will build strong cross-functional working relationships with leaders of Trove’s Product, Engineering, and Partnerships teams, and will also work closely with data teams within our partner brands and retailers. Our primary data tooling includes Jupyter Notebooks, Python, Redshift, and dbt as well as AWS infrastructure like Eventbridge and Lambda.
