We iterate quickly to see what works and what doesn't and follow the data to bring our strategy. We encourage you to take chances and fail because that is how we grow. We are a distributed team and have been since day 1. We build solutions for distributed workforces so we model our workforce the same way. In this role you really can work where you want within the United States.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience with large-scale data and query optimization techniques.
  • Problem solver with solid communication skills
  • Experience with ETL to data warehouse systems.
  • Experience with AWS cloud services: Redshift, GCP BigQuery, EC2, RDS, Aurora Postgres.
