About the role
- Partner with the engineering team to lead the knowledge transfer of "Atlas" (built in Python), taking full architectural ownership and ensuring its continued health and progression.
- Using Apache Airflow to manage and optimize the daily ingestion of analytics from multiple disparate sources (social media, podcast platforms, etc.) to ensure a clean, reliable, and "healthy" data stream.
- Act as a "data detective" to identify what information we are missing and prioritize new data collection that aligns with our financial stability and growth levers.
- Build and maintain intuitive dashboards (e.g., Power BI or custom builds) that allow non-technical peers to answer basic everyday questions without needing manual engineering support.
- Transform raw data into structured, "customer-ready" packages to support our heavy push into data licensing.
- Utilize your knowledge of the media analytics landscape to guide the organization on whether to build custom internal tools or leverage existing 3rd-party social media analytics solutions.
Requirements
- Complete mastery of SQL and Airflow, along with a high proficiency with Python.
- Deep familiarity with typical frameworks for cloud-based data storage and management.
- Proven track record of working with very large datasets and high transaction volumes.
- Ability to perform at least basic analysis on data, identifying issues, transforming datasets, and looking at information from multiple perspectives.
- Strong "people skills" with a genuine interest in interviewing stakeholders to understand the business questions they need the data to answer.
