Analytics Engineer
Remote
We are the company behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, and WooCommerce. We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer / Developer to join our data team.As the data landscape evolves, so do our roles.
As an Analytics Engineer you will:
- Create data pipelines and reports that deliver actionable 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.
- Develop Looker models and dashboards.
- Partner with analysts and developers to increase data accessibility across the organization.
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 creating excellent reporting and solving business problems.
We’d love to hear from you if:
- You’re fluent in SQL: window functions and CTEs are part of our daily work.
- You’re familiar with Java, Python, PHP, or another scripting language.
- You have used a data flow scheduling system like Airflow or dbt.
- You have experience with a business intelligence platform: we use Looker and strongly prefer experience with that platform, but other platforms and a willingness to learn can go a long way.
- You have experience working across teams to deliver analytics solutions and are familiar with common metrics of a software as a service (SaaS) business.
- 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 stakeholders.
- You’re highly collaborative and experienced in working with business owners, executives, developers, and creatives to discuss data, strategy, and tests.
