Description

Overview: 

As the newest member of our small-but-mighty data & analytics team, you will play a key role in expanding and improving our cloud microservices data ecosystem. You will champion infrastructure-as-code and test driven development, building out the workings of modern data transformation & data science pipelines. Your experience working with a variety of data technologies - from traditional columnar data warehouse modeling to distributed compute with Spark - will be critical in our mission to improve user experiences through data. Your Python chops are impressive, your SQL skills even moreso. You prefer a bash terminal to a spreadsheet, and cannot fathom life without source control. You take pride in your uncanny ability to productionize anything, be it a Python script, a Jupyter Notebook or a SQL model. You live for those two little words: “ship it”.

What’s special about this role

Spend your time writing software and solving business problems, not sitting in endless meetings. Work to improve products that make real people’s lives better. Use the best tools out there, and sometimes write even better ones. Engage with a team that wants to do big things fast, and values a healthy work-life balance while doing them.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and automate infrastructure using deployable code

• Optimize our data warehouse and analytics platforms to run reliably and economically

• Make our transformations faster/more accurate/more reliable every single day

• Productionize data science work in platforms ranging from batch processes to near-real-time distributed models

• Construct new data source ingestions and integrate them into our data warehouse 

• Build python models that would make GVR shed tears of joy 

• Contribute to and help maintain our Open Source Software projects 

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring:

• SQL mastership. A variety of flavors and dialects, and a deep working knowledge of relational vs dimensional modeling.

• Comfort with a wide variety of data-related technologies and a burning desire to learn more.

• Real-world experience modeling and extracting value from “squishy data”. Have water cooler stories ready. 

• Experience building pipelines you are proud of (and ones you are not so proud of, and have learned from).

• Nack for going beyond the obvious; digging up root causes and determining what really matters in making our business successful.

Under the hood (our data tech stack):

• AWS microservices suite

• Snowflake

• Alooma

• Fivetran

• DBT

• Airflow

• SnowShu
