Responsibilities

Own Our Data Infrastructure – Take ownership of how we collect, store, and transform data. This includes migrating some data outliers to GCP and implementing a modern data stack using BigQuery, dbt, and Dagster—but it doesn't stop there

Enable Data-Driven Strategy – Your work will directly impact how leadership makes decisions about editorial content, revenue strategy, and product direction

Evaluate and Implement Vendor Solutions – Research, test, and recommend tools for our data stack. We lean on vendors when it makes sense—you'll help us figure out what to build, what to buy, and what to integrate

Define Our Data Future – Establish best practices, build reliable pipelines, and create the systems that will scale with us

Drive Toward Outcomes – Take ownership of projects from start to finish. We care about impact, not perfection

Find Creative Uses for Data – Look for opportunities to surface more sources of data and automate workflows to save everyone time
