Analytics Engineer

Overview

As a Analytics Engineer, you will lead data pipeline, data strategy, and data visualization-related efforts for the Data & Analytics organization at STAGE. You’re an engineer who not only understands how to use big data in answering complex business questions but also how to design semantic layers to best support self-service vehicles. You will manage projects from requirements gathering to planning to implementation of full-stack data solutions (pipelines to data tables to visualisations). You will work closely with cross-functional partners to ensure that business logic is properly represented in the semantic layer and production environments, where it can be used by the wider Product Analytics team to drive business insights and strategy.

• Participate in the creation and support of analytics development standards and best practices.
• Create systematic solutions for solving data anomalies: identifying, alerting, and root cause analysis.
