About the role
- Lead, mentor, and grow a small, multidisciplinary data team (data engineers, analysts, data scientists).
- Define, refine and implement best practices for data modeling, transformation (DBT), orchestration (Airflow), and testing.
- Own the data stack and architecture (e.g., Snowflake, DBT, Metabase/Sigma, Stitch).
- Collaborate with stakeholders to define KPIs, build dashboards, and provide strategic insights.
- Drive data governance, quality, documentation, and metric standardization.
- Guide the development of data products and experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, churn prediction, etc.).
- Partner with leadership to align data strategy with business objectives.
- Stay up to date on modern data tooling and recommend improvements to scale infrastructure and processes.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in data roles, with at least 1–2 years managing a technical team.
- Strong technical skills in SQL, DBT, and orchestration tools like Airflow.
- Experience with modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery) and ELT tools (Stitch, Fivetran, Airbyte).
- Proficiency in data visualization and BI tools (Metabase, Sigma, Looker, or similar).
- Familiarity with Python or R for scripting and data science workflows.
- Solid understanding of experimentation, forecasting, and statistical analysis.
- Proven ability to drive cross-functional alignment and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Passionate about building clean, scalable data infrastructure and enabling data-driven decisions.
- Experience in a startup or high-growth environment
- Exposure to customer or product analytics
- Experience designing data team org structures and hiring
- Knowledge of dbt Cloud and CI/CD for analytics engineering
- Curious: You ask “why” often and dig deep to find the real story behind the data.
- Wise: You balance speed and scale, knowing when “good enough” beats perfect.
- Technical: You’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves, writing/reviewing a DBT model or debugging a DAG.
- Collaborative: You work well across teams and translate data into action.
