About You

You Excel in Python and SQL, while you are a master at system design and data modeling - you know what the difference is between a fact and a dimension. A problem-solver at heart, you focus on impactful solutions that focus on both the business and people from our customers to the folks building and supporting our product. You view AI as a seismic shift in data work, and you are prepared to harness its potential. You flourish in a fast-paced place while navigating ambiguity to deliver a cut above results.
You know that mentoring and collaborating pay dividends and you help your team, and others grow by communicating clearly. You are also passionate about writing maintainable, testable code and following the latest DataOps practices because you don't like getting paged in the middle of the night.
You have experience in SaaS, fintech, and direct-to-consumer ventures. You're skilled in dbt/sqlmesh and have used Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery like a pro. After all, SQL is SQL. You believe icebergs are great for cooling the planet, but they also make a good table. You enjoy using statistics to solve real business problems. Most importantly, you are dedicated to projects that create positive change for others.
