About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the analytics data layer. Design and operate the ClickHouse-backed warehouse that powers operational, business, and autonomy reliability metrics, partnering with the Platform team that owns ingestion.
Define the metrics that matter. Partner with operations, product, engineering, and finance to turn fuzzy questions into trustworthy metrics: autonomy uptime, intervention rates and classifications, release-over-release reliability, mission success, fleet utilization, customer ROI.
Ship customer-facing data experiences. Build React dashboards inside our web and mobile customer analytics portals, partnering with the Applications & Connected Services team.
Power internal decision-making. Build the Grafana boards, custom React dashboards, and self-serve tooling that let teams answer their own questions and catch problems before customers do.
Be accountable for accuracy. Establish the data quality, validation, lineage, and documentation that make every number defensible. When someone asks where a metric came from, you have an answer.
Share ownership of data contracts with the Platform and Cloud software teams.

Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years building production data systems, with meaningful time on both data modeling and analytics delivery.
Shipping experience in React. You've built analytics UIs or dashboards in a production web app and are comfortable owning the surface, not just the SQL behind it.
Deep SQL fluency and strong opinions about modeling time-series and event data. ClickHouse experience is a strong plus; comparable OLAP systems (BigQuery, Snowflake, Druid, Pinot) translate.
Comfort working alongside a platform team that owns ingestion. You have experience collaborating with the teams developing the pipeline to ensure access to high quality, actionable data.
Strong Python and at least conversational comfort in one system language (Go, Rust, TypeScript, C++).
Familiarity with semantic layers (dbt, Cube, MetricFlow, etc).
A track record of turning raw telemetry into metrics non-technical stakeholders actually use and trust. You’ve turned loose high-level ideas into actionable and reliable analytics.
High standards for data quality. You've been the person on the hook when a customer-facing number was wrong, and you've built the systems that keep it from happening again.
