How you will make an impact

You would join Epidemic’s Data Engineering team, with a mission to provide the platform, tools, solutions, and data sets that enable the company to stay ever more data-informed. As an Analytics Engineer, you would play a key role in bridging Data Engineering and Data Analytics.

Our modern data stack runs on Google Cloud Platform and part of our solution stack includes BigQuery as a data warehouse, Google Cloud Composer (Airflow) for data pipeline orchestration, Dataflow jobs for data processing, and dbt for data transformation.



You can expect to:

- Join an organization with passionate Data Scientists and Data Engineers at an early stage of the company's history. This is a chance to be part of building a data analytics platform that scales worldwide

- Drive data architecture matters, including following the data definition and data modeling principles across all parts of the business, and ensuring that everything from tracking to reporting cubes adheres to Epidemic’s best practices

- Work with business stakeholders and design data models to quantitatively support everything from corporate strategy to user acquisition

- Support and mentor analytics consumers on best software engineering practices

This role will include finding ways to share learnings across the organization. It could be via internal talks, writing internal blog posts, or any other way you may think of. You can also expect to learn a ton of new things, be it through hack-days, courses, conferences, or tech talks. We emphasize learning and we also expect you to share your knowledge with your colleagues.

We collaborate constantly and are big believers in teamwork and the value of practices like careful code reviews and pair (or mob) programming. On top of this, you can expect to have lots of fun and take pride in what you and all of Epidemic is doing.
