About the Role

We are building a lean, high-impact data team to drive revenue, operational efficiency, and faster decision-making.

This is not a traditional Data Engineer or Analyst role. You will own problems end-to-end, from raw data to business impact, and act as a data partner to Product, GTM, Finance, and CX teams.

• Proven experience designing and maintaining scalable data pipelines
• Solid understanding of data modeling (Data Vault, Inmon, Kimball)
• Ability to operate across engineering, analytics, and business contexts
• Experience with modern data stacks (AWS, Databricks, BigQuery, or similar)
• Familiarity with AI tools such as Claude or Augment to improve productivity

• Develop and maintain reliable and scalable data pipelines
• Partner with stakeholders to define and track KPIs, metrics, and OKRs

• Ensure data quality, integrity, and cross-system reconciliation
• Enable conversational analytics and process visibility
• Use AI tools to automate workflows and improve efficiency
• Proactively identify growth levers and operational inefficiencies
• Ship fast, iterate, and focus on business impact

What We Look For

• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to take problems to outcomes
• Ability to work in ambiguity and define problems independently
• Business-first thinking with focus on impact, not just pipelines
• Comfort working closely with stakeholders while staying hands-on
• Ability to challenge assumptions and refine metrics
• Bias for action and continuous improvement

Good to Have

• Experience in SaaS, EOR, or Payroll domains
• Exposure to process mining or workflow analytics

What We Offer

• High-impact role with the chance to play a key part in a rapidly growing company
• Full autonomy in your role, with the flexibility to work in a hybrid environment
• Work with a passionate, energetic, and diverse team
• Competitive benefits, recognition programs, and career development opportunities
• Attractive ESOPs, giving you a stake in the company's success
• Comprehensive health insurance coverage for you and your family
• Generous holiday policy
• A company that genuinely invests in your professional success
