Job description

At FiscalNote, we build platforms that connect people to their governments, and our Data Analytics team builds tools, processes, and reporting capabilities to integrate operational data and enable enterprise decision making. As an Analytics Engineer on the Data Analytics team, you recognize the value of properly managing, analyzing and reporting data to improve operational efficiencies, customerexperience, and financial performance, and want to build the data models and analytics capabilities that empower decision making across the company.

You can operate independently, but have support from your team as needed. You are proficient in SQL and have hands‑on experience building data models in dbt. You know how to explore and analyze unfamiliar datasets and find insights in the data. You want to deepen your technical expertise and may have experience with Python or other general‑purpose programming languages.
