ABOUT THE ROLE

The Data Platform team is responsible for data collection and modeling. You will:

• Help our clients select and set up the right infrastructure for data collection and modeling.


• Work in close collaboration with the other teams at company to design and develop SQL data models that deliver clean, structured and interpreted data to the downstream consumers.


• Expand and improve the suite of tools that form the foundation of all the client work we do.


• Get to work with an experienced team. Coaching and mentoring is an important part of the road to success for us.


• Have the opportunity to become an expert on data collection and modeling. You will develop strong opinions, whilst retaining a certain level of pragmatism, and you will have the opportunity to share those opinions by writing blog posts and presenting at conferences.


• Help train the internal data team at our client to ensure a smooth handover as we near the end of a project.

We’re looking for candidates who are based in the UK, the Netherlands, or Sweden (all cities are fine as we work remote).

ABOUT YOU

• You have strong SQL experience and understand the difference between queries that work and queries that are maintainable and scalable. Some experience with cloud-native data warehouses is preferred (we use BigQuery, Redshift, and Snowflake). Experience with other languages, especially with R and Python, is a plus but not a requirement.

 

• You have at least 2 years of relevant experience. You won’t know how all the systems work on day one so we don’t expect you to hit the ground running, but a good understanding of the fundamentals and experience working in a similar role will help you get up to speed quickly.

 

• You are self-motivated and prefer to learn by doing, failing, and trying again. You have a can-do attitude to learning new skills and new tools. Not only do we have to keep abreast of the state-of-the-art, we also have to adapt sometimes to clients’ toolsets.

 

• You are a good communicator who is able to work directly with data analysts, data scientists, engineers, product managers, marketers, and executive teams. Being able to communicate with clarity and precision is of critical importance to this role.

 

• You are a clear thinker who is comfortable explaining their thinking, discussing different approaches to a problem, and working collaboratively and creatively to identify new solutions.

 

• You care about the details and have a mature attitude to documentation, security, and process—all of which are important and inform everything we do.

 

• You might have a STEM degree. You might not. That’s not necessarily what we’re looking for. We care about what you can do and how you do it, not about how you got here. A strong track record of conscientious, thoughtful work speaks volumes.

 

• You enjoy working across multiple problems with multiple clients at any given moment. To do this effectively, you understand the importance of planning and estimating and know how to balance competing priorities.

 

• This is a remote job. You’re free to work where you work best: home office, co-working space, coffeeshops. Whilst we currently have a co-working space in London and will soon get one in Amsterdam as well, you should be comfortable working remotely—we all do some or most of the time!
