Job description

We’re looking for a data analyst who codes, someone who can move fluidly between SQL, Python, and a dashboard, and who’ll own data-driven projects across the company. Promotion engines, ad measurement, growth analysis, and whatever question the team needs answered next. NYC is preferred; US-remote works for the right person.

About the team

Turtles is a world-class team letting anyone turn their passion into a beloved marketplace, helping 29M shoppers find the things they’ll love. We’re one of the fastest-growing startups in the US and we’re hiring brilliant and exceptionally-driven people to join us. We have a lean, 60 person team where every person owns outcomes end-to-end, learns and grows incredibly quickly, and works with teammates who set high standards. Our culture is focused around rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy. Turtles isn’t for everyone, and that’s intentional. If you’re energized by hard problems and big opportunities, you’ll thrive here.Our team is primarily split between our offices in NYC, Helsinki, and Hong Kong, with portions of our team also working remotely. We prefer in-person hires and indicate our preferred locations for each role, but please apply regardless of your location as we’re always looking for brilliant people to join. We’re excited to meet you.

Why this role matters

Most of our highest-leverage decisions live in the data: what to promote, where to spend, which experiments to run. The analyst who owns these questions shapes the company’s direction more than they realize.

What you’ll do

• Own data-driven projects across the company: promotions, ad measurement, growth analysis.
• Write production-quality SQL and analysis code.
• Build the dashboards and tools the rest of the team uses to make decisions.
• Partner with engineering, growth, and marketing on the questions that matter.
• Push back when the data doesn’t say what someone wants it to say.

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years of analytics in a fast-moving company.
• Strong SQL; comfortable in Python.
• Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain a finding to a founder.
• Bias toward action: analyses that lead to decisions, not analyses that sit in a deck.

Nice to have

• Experience in commerce, marketplaces, or growth.
• Background in marketing measurement or experimentation.

How we hire

A short, focused process designed to respect your time. The specifics vary by role, but here’s the format we typically aim for:

• Intro call with a relevant team member or a founder (30 min).
• Working session: pair with a senior team member or a founder on a real data question from the role (SQL, modeling, or analysis) (~60 min).
• Depending on the role, a paid half-day trial so we can see how you work with the team, and so you can see what the problems actually look like.
• Offer within 5 business days of the final round.

Turtles is an equal-opportunity employer. We hire people from every background and we’re committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the shoppers, brands, and marketplaces we serve.
