Data Insights Engineer

We use social analytics and machine learning to help suppliers in the alcohol industry optimize sales. We have a lot of very complex data (billions-scale), a robust platform, and a SaaS product for analysts.

Externally, we are a fairly private company. Internally, we have a high-capability, low-ego team of 20+ great people and a culture built on hard work and succeeding together. We are fully remote and hire across the US. We get together in-person a few times a year. Our company is a great fit for growth-oriented people who can work largely independently but know how to raise their hand when needed.

As a member of the Ground Signal team, you will leverage your technical expertise and deliver valuable insights that drive business decisions. The ideal candidate is both detail-oriented and strategic, capable of grasping the broader business implications of the data they analyze.

• Utilize your technical prowess to work closely with our databases, extracting and manipulating data for insightful analysis.
• Exhibit meticulous attention to detail while also grasping the broader business context, ensuring data-driven decisions align with strategic objectives.
• Translate business requirements into effective data queries and analysis.
• Apply analytical thinking to go beyond initial technical requests, proposing comprehensive solutions and recognizing the potential business impact of derived insights.
• Demonstrate a proactive approach in problem-solving, identifying alternative solutions when initial approaches fall short of desired outcomes.
• Empathize with clients and internal stakeholders, ensuring that insights and solutions presented are robust, client-friendly, and aligned with their needs.
• Showcase a balance of technical engineering skills and client-centric solution mentality.
• Strive for continuous improvement, actively seeking out process efficiencies and documenting procedures for future reference.
• Proficiency in working with databases and conducting data analysis using relevant tools.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Great communication skills with a "customer service" mentality
• Detail-oriented and not afraid of digging through large data sets
• Scrappy with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude
• Able to take the lead on something but not afraid to ask for help
• Has enough technical ability to work with python, databases, and interact with large data sets
• Has 2 or more years of experience, preferably with working with datasets and databases
