  • Strong working knowledge of SQL (preferably Snowflake)
  • Knowledge of analytics development tools such as Git, Sigma, DBT, Snowflake, Claude Code, and Cursor
  • Practical and theoretical knowledge of A/B testing
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work cross-functionally and influence both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Ability to think creatively and critically and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and often ambiguous work environment
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitatively rigorous subject area like statistics, math, finance, economics
  • Enough 'laziness' to find a faster way to do your least favorite tasks
  • Humility and team player - you go out of your way to help teammates

  • Experience with machine learning algorithms and statistical modeling
  • Familiarity with data visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI
  • Knowledge of cloud-based data platforms such as AWS or Google Cloud

Benefits and Perks

How to Stand Out

  • Be prepared to walk through your process for developing and implementing data models and analytics workflows
  • Show examples of how you've driven improvements in previous roles through data insights and workflow improvements
