  • Turn a largely manual customer onboarding process into a repeatable, automated product.

What we're looking for

  • Skill in translating complex data topics for colleagues and customers without a technical background.
  • Hands-on work building extract-transform-load flows, covering data moves, duplicate removal and record matching.
  • Working knowledge of a relational database such as PostgreSQL and of a cloud analytics warehouse.
  • Comfort working in an early-stage company with a strong influence on product direction.
