We are the company behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, Tumblr, and WooCommerce. We're looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to join our Tumblr team.
Communication with and empathy for our colleagues is a key part of this job - curiosity about the puzzles they face is a requirement. Data can be unruly: you’ll need to be prepared to face uncertainty and provide your best guess sometimes - our work is as much about cleaning and testing the legacy pipeline as it is about crafting excellent reporting and solving business problems.
As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you will:
- Build data pipelines and reports that deliver meaningful insights to our product and business teams.
- Always be raising data quality. That includes auditing sources, documenting issues, driving resolutions together with other teams, and implementing well-documented, performant, and tested transformations.
- Perform ad hoc analyses to better understand customer behavior, needs, and individual test results.
- Summarize data and investigation through the presentation, dashboard, and other mediums.
- Partner with many other teams such as product, engineering teams to provide deep insights about business and product.
- Build and improve analytics infrastructure such as ETL pipeline, A/B testing system, and data visualization systems.
We'd love to hear from you if:
- You have at least 2+ years of professional experience with SQL.
- You have at least 2+ years of commercial experience with Python.
- You have used a data flow scheduling system like Airflow.
- You have experience with a business intelligence platform: we use Looker and strongly prefer experience with that platform, but other platforms and an ability to learn can go a long way.
- It will be a plus if you have some experience with Kubernetes and Docker.
- You are comfortable working across teams to deliver analytics solutions and are familiar with common metrics for consumer products.
- You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
- You're able to communicate clearly with and about data to technical and non-technical partners.
- You're highly collaborative and experienced in working with business owners, executives, developers, and creatives to discuss data, strategy, and tests.
Like all positions at Automattic, you’ll work remotely, and can be based wherever you live. It’s not a requirement that you live in or relocate to New York to do this job. Automattic has more than a dozen full-time global nomads!
