The Senior Analytics Engineer joins the Analytics Engineering team to serve as the technical owner of the Marketing data stack. In this role, you will build dbt models, data marts, and self-serve data products that enable Marketing leadership to plan spend, measure performance, and drive growth.

  • Own and maintain dbt models and data marts that power marketing analytics and reporting.
  • Build and productionize predictive models for lead scoring, LTV, channel attribution, and propensity.
  • Translate business questions from leadership into technical measurement frameworks and spend optimization strategies.
  • Develop self-serve data products and AI-powered tools to enable marketing teams to query the metric layer.
  • Design and implement experimentation tooling to measure performance and drive growth.
  • Collaborate with engineering and ML teams to build high-quality data infrastructure for marketing operations.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field such as CS, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of proven experience in analytics engineering, data science, or a closely adjacent function.
  • Advanced SQL and production-grade data modeling experience, with dbt strongly preferred.
  • Proficiency in Python for modeling and analysis work.
  • Hands-on experience with a modern cloud warehouse such as Databrick, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift.
  • Demonstrated experience shipping predictive models or applied ML in a business context.
  • Prior experience in Marketing Analytics, Growth, or GTM analytics at a SaaS or usage-based technology company.
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills and the ability to autonomously drive projects end-to-end.
