BI (Analytics) Engineer

Job Description

Our client is a fast-growing healthcare insurance startup. Look past the healthcare label and you'll find a data company at its core. The data team is lean and high-impact: three people supporting 70+ engineers.

The Role

You'll own data modeling and pipelines, building the foundational data layer that powers customer-facing reporting today and ML/AI products tomorrow. This is a hands-on role. You'll take messy, complex data models and turn them into something reliable and scalable, working closely with product, operations, and engineering. If you thrive in ambiguity, work at startup pace, and can point to measurable impact, you'll fit right in.

**Responsibilities:**

Own and mature the data modeling practice, building the critical models and pipelines behind customer-facing reporting and analytics

Scale and clean up existing data infrastructure to support larger, more complex enterprise customer integrations

Partner with product management and operations to understand data needs and deliver accurate, trusted outputs

Work directly with engineers to understand complex production data, and keep Metabase dashboards accurate and available

Lay the groundwork for future ML and AI products by improving data quality, governance, and pipeline reliability

**Must-Have: (Dealbreakers):**

Experience building data models and pipelines at a VC-backed startup or a big tech company founded after 2005 (think Uber, Lyft, Stripe, or Datadog; FAANG doesn't count)

Advanced SQL in complex production data environments

Willingness to work in-office 4 days/week in Denver, SF, or NYC

**Baseline Qualifications:**

3-7 years of experience in analytics or data science at a high-growth company

Bachelor's degree in CS, Math, Engineering, or a hard science

Hands-on experience with a major data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift)

Ability to clearly articulate your business impact with quantified outcomes

**Nice-to-Have:**

Experience partnering with product and operations teams on data needs

Experience in a highly regulated industry (fintech, shipping/logistics, insurance) working with large, complex data sets

Hands-on dbt experience for production data modeling

Familiarity with GCP/BigQuery, Python, or Terraform
