• Data & Transformation Mastery: Advanced proficiency in SQL and experience with modern transformation layer tools (e.g., dbt) for building scheduled, production-grade data models.

• Automation & Scripting: Strong programming skills in Python using libraries for API integration, data manipulation, and task automation (e.g., Pandas, Airflow, Prefect, or custom cron jobs).

• Modern BI & Visualization: Deep hands-on experience setting up automated, self-service BI dashboards and semantic layers using enterprise tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Power BI).

• Communication & Storytelling: Proven ability to distill complex automated architectures and data models into clear, actionable business narratives for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• End-to-End Ownership: Strong project management skills with the ability to take an automation project from initial scoping and architecture design through execution and stakeholder adoption.

• Culture Fit: Ability to thrive in an ego-free, highly collaborative, and fast-paced environment.

We live these every day. If they don't sound like you, this won't be a fit and we'd both rather know now.

• Impact. Our work matters. We take a lot of pride in building to advance mission outcomes.

• Overdeliver. We go above and beyond in everything we do - creating products and serving our users

• Hustle. We get stuff done, no matter what it takes.

• Empathy. Our users’ problems are our own. We don't push products, we solve problems.

• Humility. We’re not afraid to admit what we don’t know. Our job is to listen and grow.

• Integrity. Transparency & respect above all else. It’s non-negotiable, even when it isn't easy

Benefits & Structure

• Flexible schedule - We all have other things going on in our lives. Doctor visits, kids’ activities, dog walks - take care of it whenever you have to. And work from home when you need to.

• Sizeable equity - We’re building something with massive upside potential, and you’ll have ownership in that. This is ours.

• Flexible vacation time - Use what you want, as long as you’re taking care of what needs to get done.
