Who You Are:

We are seeking a Sr. Analytics Engineer who brings exceptional technical skills to manage and build our growing data pipeline and analytics infrastructure. You will be responsible for monitoring data uptime and architecting efficient solutions for the scalability of our competitive data set, driving value for both internal stakeholders and the customers that we serve. Your work will directly impact our company’s ability to make informed decisions and better product features. 

You will partner with teams such as Data Engineering, Data Science, Product, and Analytics (product analysts) to drive data solutions. This is a highly technical role, however it also requires the strategic acumen to develop a technical roadmap and self-lead on projects. This role can be based out of the Washington, DC metropolitan area or can be remote, anywhere in the US. 

What You Will Do:

• Own ETL monitoring and work cross functionally with data engineers and analysts to triage and resolve issues.
• Define and manage SLAs for all data sets in allocated areas of ownership.
• Conceptualize and own the data architecture for the intermediate models on which our data analysts will build their data marts, acknowledging multiple uses cases across the company.
• Optimize pipelines and processes to reduce runtime and deliver faster and easier development of data artifacts.
• Develop anomaly detection and testing to better deliver reliable data.
• Influence product and cross-functional teams to identify data opportunities to drive impact.
• Create documentation surrounding the data that we use and collaborate with data analysts to drive adoption of documentation processes.

What You Bring to the Table: 

Required

• 5+ years of experience in a analytics engineering role, including owning and maintaining ETL processes.
• Strong technical skills, including expert knowledge of SQL, dbt, and git.
• Excellent organizational skills with an ability to prioritize multiple demands and projects.
• Strong business acumen to drive thoughtful data architecture and scalability.
• Strong understanding of modern data architecture concepts, such as data lakes and data warehousings.

Preferred

• Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Comfortable with self directed work.
• Experience with automated ETL platforms like Fivetran, spark/pyspark, databricks, and snowflake.
• Ability and desire to work well with diverse employees in a cooperative and friendly manner.
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills.

What We Bring to the Table:

• Competitive and fair compensation: We believe in fair pay--equal pay for equal work. For each title, we consistently apply competitive salary bands based on market data and benchmarks which are reviewed twice a year. What you’ve been paid before, fear of conflict, or willingness to negotiate does not play a part in determining your pay.
• The annual base salary range for this position is $90,000 - $103,000. Placement within the range is determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to: knowledge, skills, years & depth of experience, and equity with internal team members.
• 401(k) retirement plan: We offer both a Traditional and Roth 401(k) with a company match.
• Company-paid medical: Our medical, dental and vision premiums are covered 100% for you and your dependents. 
• Paid parental leave: Welcoming new family members is exciting, but it can also be challenging. We offer twelve weeks paid leave for primary caregivers and four weeks for secondary caregivers. We have a dedicated private space available to breast/chest feeding employees.
• Unlimited vacation: At Storyblocks we take vacation seriously. That means take the time off when you need it. Don’t worry about tracking hours or accounting for partial days. Typically, employees take about three or four weeks each year. Plus, two company-wide week breaks in July and December as well as numerous Fridays off throughout the year to take advantage of 3-day weekends.
• Workplace benefits and perks: Whether you work in our offices in Arlington, VA or anywhere else across the US, we have you covered. Fully stocked office kitchen? Check. Home office stipend for hybrid and remote workers? Check. Commuter stipend for office workers? Check. Company and team events? Check.
• Flexible work options: Much of our workflow is online, and for in office meetings, we have dedicated video-conferencing setups. As long as you deliver results, you are welcome to get your work done during unusual times when desired.
• Company-sponsored mentorship and growth: We encourage attending meetups and are happy to host them as well. We also have a leadership coach, on staff, available to all employees to enhance your professional development.
• Employee perks: We help employees maintain work-life balance and honor their contributions to the organization by offering resources such as a financial wellness program, a subscription service that offers unlimited deliveries from thousands of eligible restaurants with $0 delivery, and a recognition and rewards program that celebrates their accomplishments. 
• Casual Work Environment: Sure we all get dressed up once in a while, but in general we want you to be comfortable at the office – whatever that means to you (flip-flops, shorts, jeans, etc.).
