Staff Engineer - Data

About the RoleWe are looking for an experienced data engineer to join our team. Big Cartel is a mature company with a comparatively immature data stack. We need someone with a track record of architecting data pipelines to help us build a robust reporting infrastructure that can support our business needs. This person should have extremely strong technical skills and be a great peer and collaborator. We need someone who can translate high-level requirements into data models and supporting software, tooling, and infrastructure. We're primarily a Ruby/Rails shop. Past experience with Rails is a plus but not a hard requirement. Ideal candidates are eager to not only build reporting around existing data but are eager to dive into codebases and help implement new data collection where it doesn't currently exist. Initial work will primarily be to support business users in decision-making but future efforts around customer-focused analytics are also being planned.

In this role you will…

Become a domain expert in Big Cartel’s production data collections

Build and manage an internal data warehouse for reporting

Explain and document data warehouse tables

Translate abstract stakeholder requests into actionable data delivered either real-time or on a schedule

Clean missing/unreliable data to minimize reporting gotchas

Implement platform features (with an emphasis on data/analytics) as a member of the broader engineering team

You will be a great fit for this role if you…

Favor pragmatic, cost-effective solutions

Have excellent written and verbal communication

Are laser focused on business objectives

Are comfortable getting your hands dirty and building up data warehouses and pipelines from scratch
