About the Role

We are looking for an Analytics Engineer to join a growing data team and take ownership of building the company’s data infrastructure and reporting layer.

In addition to core data work, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to ad hoc analyses and special data projects as the business evolves.

AI tools are a key part of the workflow. You are expected to use AI to improve speed, automate repetitive tasks, assist with coding, debugging, and documentation, and contribute to building internal AI-powered data access solutions.

Schedule:  40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9:00 PM – 6:00 AM (with 1-hour unpaid break)
