Responsibilities

  • Drive the design and implementation of foundational data products and analytics platform capabilities that power Upside’s most critical product and business use cases.
  • Lead cross-functional workstreams, shape patterns and architecture across teams, and elevate the overall quality and impact of data work at Upside.
  • Design and deliver highly complex, domain-critical data products used by analysts, data scientists, and product teams to unlock new product features, ML models, and strategic decisions.
  • Architect scalable, extensible patterns for modeling, orchestration, and data transformation—balancing flexibility, reusability, and cost-efficiency.
  • Own platform evolution projects such as migrating the data platform to Snowflake Semantic Views, extending Cortex, or improving orchestration tooling for analytics workflows.
  • Lead technical planning and delivery across cross-functional teams, breaking down complex data initiatives into scoped, sequenced workstreams implemented by you and others.
  • Drive platform adoption and best practices, mentoring other engineers, building internal documentation and tooling, and raising the overall bar for analytics engineering across the company.
  • Influence upstream and downstream teams, partnering with engineering, product, data science, and business stakeholders to align on requirements and deliver end-to-end solutions.
  • Represent Analytics Engineering in technical design forums and contribute to roadmap discussions that shape the future of data at Upside.

Requirements

  • Have deep expertise in SQL and Python, particularly for transforming, testing, and orchestrating very large datasets.
  • Are fluent with platforms like AWS, Snowflake, dbt, and Dagster, and can design extensible patterns to be used across teams.
  • Experience with DevOps practices (e.g., CI/CD for data), data governance, or FinOps (cost-conscious design).
  • Can break down ambiguous, cross-functional data problems and lead the implementation from design to deployment, collaborating across technical and non-technical teams.
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve the analytics platform and are comfortable designing and implementing impactful, reusable solutions.
  • Communicate clearly across audiences, from engineers and analysts to product managers and business leaders.
  • Understand how to balance business value, maintainability, and platform standards in your design decisions.
  • Are excited about the opportunity to mentor others, set standards, and leave systems better than you found them.
