About The Position

We’re looking for our first dedicated Analytics Engineer – a technical builder who can consolidate fragmented data sources, model them cleanly, and turn raw information into trusted, reusable datasets and metrics that power decisions across the company. As Rain scales from hundreds to thousands of customers, we need someone who can make our data accessible, reliable, and self-serve for Product, BD, Customer Success, Compliance, and the Executive teams. Reporting to the Head of Business Operations, this role sits at the intersection of data engineering and analytics. You’ll own Rain’s core data models and analytics layer, partnering with teams across the company to answer critical questions: How are customers using our infrastructure across products and geos? Where are our exposures by country, partner, and use case? Which behaviors predict retention, revenue expansion, and risk? How are we tracking against our OKRs and company metrics? You’ll design the models, metrics, and dashboards that help us understand our business, prove value to customers and make faster, smarter decisions.

Requirements

Builder's mentality – Energized by being an early analytics hire at a fast-growing fintech; comfortable owning the full lifecycle from ingestion and modeling to metrics and dashboards
Modeling & SQL expert – Strong analytics skills with deep proficiency in SQL and experience building dimensional/semantic models that are easy for others to use
Modern data stack fluent – Hands-on experience with analytics tooling (e.g., dbt, modern ELT tools, Airflow orchestration frameworks) and cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift)
Business-minded – You don’t just ship tables and charts—you partner with teams to clarify the questions that matter, design the right metrics, and translate data into strategic recommendations
Clear communicator – Able to distill complex data concepts into simple, compelling stories and artifacts for executives, GTM leaders, and customers
Customer-focused – Motivated by helping Rain prove and quantify value to enterprise clients and giving customer-facing teams the data they need to win
Experienced – 5–7+ years in analytics engineering, data analytics, or data engineering roles, ideally at early-stage or high-growth B2B SaaS, fintech, or payments companies

Responsibilities

Define and maintain company-wide metrics for business health, customer engagement, product usage, transaction volumes, payment success rates, and other mission-critical KPIs
Develop dashboards and self-serve analytics layers that make it simple for non-technical teams to explore data, track performance, and answer their own questions
Analyze cross-customer and cross-product trends to surface insights that inform product roadmap, go-to-market strategy, and operational improvements
