  • Develop and maintain tools that bridge disparate data sources across the organization to serve data models, dashboards, decision aids, and business case analysis with up-to-date and accurate information.
  • Collaborate with our data scientists on engineering predictive features from our product intelligence database.
  • Prototype, implement, and optimize data new pipelines and architectures that can transform our data to impactful insights.
  • Create robust daily, weekly, or monthly automated processes to deliver impactful work.
  • Create innovative and efficient techniques that better solve the problems we are working on
  • Assess risks to proposed analytics solutions based on quality of existing data sources and actively develop QA procedures to mitigate those risks.
  • Tailor our syndicated data to retail and CPG business needs in a robust and scalable way.
  • Facilitate knowledge transfer across the business between Product Delivery and Commercial teams.
  • Recommend and implement enhancements that standardize and streamline processes, assure data quality and reliability, and reduce processing time to meet client expectations.

YOU ALREADY:

  • Have a professional quantitative background with an education that stresses analytical thinking and quantitative methods (STEM)
  • Have several years of experience as a data engineer with demonstrated success in designing & maintaining data warehouses
  • Have a strong knowledge of python & SQL in a data context (iterators, pandas, scikit-learn, etc.)
  • Are passionate about innovating new ways to answer novel problems
  • Are comfortable with being given the self-autonomy to work independently and experiment with new ideas and new ways to design and implement data science solutions to advance business goals
  • Have confidence in being the expert on SPINS data capabilities and best practices based on independent synthesis of a broad range of data
  • Familiarity with Docker and Google Cloud infrastructure is a plus
