Requirements

Live in the United States and be authorized to work here without sponsorship.
At least 3 years of experience working in the data field in a product-driven environment.
Experience with Modern Data Stack tools (e.g. Snowflake/Databricks/BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran/Airbyte, Amplitude/Mixpanel, Metabase/Looker/Tableau).
Experience writing and maintaining SQL in a production environment (e.g. dbt models, shared queries, dashboards).
Confident in and passionate about using AI to do your job better, while knowing what is worth not outsourcing.

Experience designing and analyzing A/B tests.

Responsibilities

Strengthen data foundations, including data quality end-to-end, operational health of the data stack (Snowflake administration, dbt model development and maintenance, Fivetran/Artie pipeline monitoring, dashboard building), and treating ad-hoc requests as signals to fix root causes.
Increase data literacy by explaining complex topics clearly, meeting stakeholders where they are, creating trustworthy self-service tooling, providing thoughtful feedback on data work, and openly sharing insights, wins, losses, and failures.
Shape the future of AI in data at YNAB by exploring where AI generates the most value and where human judgment is crucial, and by being AI-fluent to leverage tools effectively while maintaining critical judgment.
Act as a thought partner by proactively pointing teams toward data-indicated opportunities, challenging questions before building answers, figuring things out resourcefully, forming and holding points of view with recommendations, flagging when qualitative input is needed, and having a bias toward action.
Transform data into clear, opinionated recommendations and help shape future strategies.
Build systems that allow others at YNAB to self-serve with confidence.
