ABOUT THIS ROLE

The data team helps to ensure that Reforge is the best example of our own material. That means that every department at Reforge uses data to deliver an exceptional experience from someone’s first web site visit to being a happy long term customer. The data team empowers other parts of the org to get answers to questions to help inform what they do, how they do it, and how their efforts impact the business. We are responsible for the infrastructure and tooling that empowers each team. The data team also runs analysis to help understand Reforge’s metrics from a holistic perspective and where our efforts have the greatest impact across the business.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will be in charge of owning the data foundations, help consume data sources from external products into our data warehouse and build tooling to enable descriptive and predictive analytics. In addition, you will build custom pipelines to process and enrich data and enable syncing of data to downstream systems. Our Head of Data spells it all out here.

You'll be joining as part of the foundational team of a profitable proven startup. We bootstrapped to high seven-figure revenue, led by experienced entrepreneurs, and recently we raised a $60M round from Insight Partners. In addition, you will integrate into our community of subject matter experts, including the leaders who helped build companies like Slack, Pinterest, CreditKarma, ClassPass, ipsy, Eventbrite, SurveyMonkey, Thumbtack, and more.

ABOUT REFORGE

In a traditional world, before the advent of tech, bankers, manufacturing leaders, and others progressed to the top of their industry through an MBA. Tech followed suit for some time, with early tech company leaders heading into MBA programs at Stanford, MIT, and others. That's not true anymore. Tech has passed the MBA by and people are trying to figure out how to progress from mid career professional to the top of their field. Reforge is a new kind of educational company that helps you access the earned insights of the world's leading practitioners, learn and apply frameworks without leaving your job, and build a strong professional network. The path to the top of the tech profession is being solved here.

We work with the leaders of the fastest growing and most innovative companies such as Google, Facebook, Pinterest, Atlassian, Slack, and HubSpot to teach frontier topics to today's emerging leaders. Our content, community, experience, and brand combine into a unique product offering that creates unparalleled access to insights.

In just a couple of years, we've built a thriving community of emerging leaders solving problems at Airbnb, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Amazon, Facebook, New York Times, Peloton, Stitch Fix, and many more. Here are just a few comments from our alums:

“I got my MBA at Berkeley, but this program has been more transformational for me than the entire two years I spent there. Thank you!”

“Reforge has easily been one of the best investments of time and money I've ever made in my professional development. I love how the course codifies what I've been doing for the last four years as VP of Marketing.”

“Reforge is easily the highest quality professional skills program out there. If I had to choose between attending an unlimited number of industry conferences, versus going only to the Reforge, I'd choose Reforge without hesitation.”
