- Identify millions of dollars of cost savings and optimization across tools and financial operations
- Write data pipelines powering business operations, such as cloud compute economics or sales compensation
- Create foundational datasets used by people and AI tools to answer questions around product use cases, financial reporting, and marketing campaigns
You should be comfortable working in a fast-growing, technically sophisticated environment where data directly influences product and business decisions.

- Professional experience with at least 2 of the following: Snowflake, dbt, dlt, Modal, Hex, Posthog
- Ability to extend work beyond data reporting into action and impact
- High attention to detail
- Excellent and precise communication skills
- Strong personability and relationship-building skills
NICE-TO-HAVE:
