Job description

The Role

Comfy's analytics stack is young and moving fast: Snowflake and dbt, Airbyte and Airflow, PostHog events, Stripe and Metronome billing, Hex on top. It was stood up quickly by our backend team and interim help, and it now powers real decisions - revenue pacing, activation funnels, finance close, enterprise deals. We need immediate support on growth analytics and this role is the engineering muscle behind that: keep the data layer true, ship the models, troubleshoot.

This is a hands-on contract role with real authority. You'll own the dbt project day to day, be the person who reviews and merges data-platform pull requests, and be the reason pipeline breakages get caught in hours instead of weeks.

What You'll Do

• Own the dbt codebase: model, test, review, and merge - clear the PR queue and keep main green

• Own ingestion reliability across Airbyte/Airflow jobs (product DB, PostHog, Stripe, Metronome, HubSpot), with monitors and alerts so silent failures stop happening

• Turn hand-built SQL into tested, scheduled dbt models - starting with finance's views, so monthly close runs off the warehouse, not heroics

• Build and certify the marts behind our dashboards: revenue and bookings, activation, team plans and workspaces, credit usage

• QA and extend event instrumentation with product engineers: tracking plans, event naming, identity stitching, catching the funnel events that don't fire

• Unblock the people waiting on data: growth's dashboard build, finance's close, enterprise's usage-analytics features

You Might Be a Fit If You

• Are a senior analytics or data engineer for whom dbt + a cloud warehouse (we're on Snowflake) is home turf

• Ship like a software engineer: git-native, strong PR reviewer, tests and CI by default - comfortable being the merge authority on a shared repo

• Have run orchestration and ingestion in production (Airflow, Airbyte or Fivetran) and can debug a pipeline end to end, from source API to dashboard

• Have modeled billing and subscription data before - Stripe required-level familiarity; usage-based billing (credits, metering, Metronome-style) is a strong plus

• Know event analytics (PostHog, Segment, or GA4): tracking plans, event QA, identity resolution

• Work at contractor pace: scoped outcomes, fast clock, crisp async communication with a small intense team

Bonus Points

• You've been the data platform person at a PLG SaaS company

• Hex (or similar notebook-BI), Datadog monitors, Terraform

• You know ComfyUI, or care about AI creative tools

Additional details

• Contract ~3-6 months, extension or conversion possible

• Start ASAP
