About The Position

Novellia is seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer who is passionate about understanding user behavior within products. This role involves partnering with product and engineering teams to define key metrics, build reliable measurement infrastructure, and drive product decisions through data. The ideal candidate has experience in consumer companies, understands product-market fit, and can analyze user journeys, retention, and engagement.

The role is a senior individual contributor position reporting to the Manager, Data and Analytics.

Requirements

4+ years of experience in analytics engineering or a closely related data role.
Experience at a consumer-facing company: you understand how consumers use products and what metrics actually matter for growth.
Startup experience: you know how to operate when priorities shift and there is no playbook.
Strong SQL and dbt skills; you can build clean, modular, well-documented models.
Hands-on experience with Mixpanel, including working with engineers to define and implement event tracking.
Proven track record of working directly with product managers and designers, not just reporting to them. You have shaped what gets built, not just measured it.
Strong intuition for engagement and retention: you have done funnel analysis, cohort analysis, and retention modeling before.
Experience with our stack or something close to it: BigQuery, dbt, Stitch, and Hex. We'll continue to evolve our tooling over time, and you'll have a real voice in those decisions and a hand in implementing them.
Clear communicator who can translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders without losing nuance.
High ownership mindset: you notice what is broken and fix it without waiting to be asked.
Comfortable using AI tools to move faster: writing SQL, exploring data, documenting your work, whatever gets you there.
Experience designing or supporting A/B tests and interpreting experiment results.

Nice To Haves

Experience in healthcare or digital health.
Familiarity with healthcare data formats like FHIR or CCDA.
Experience with NLP or working with unstructured clinical text.
Contributions to open-source data projects.
Experience with mobile analytics instrumentation, including mobile-specific tracking quirks like session lengths, deep links, and push attribution.
A track record of building self-serve dashboards that non-technical stakeholders actually use.
Familiarity with structured growth frameworks, North Star metrics, or AARRR.

Responsibilities

Serve as the dedicated data partner for product and product design: join roadmap planning, weigh in on feature scoping, and make sure the right questions are being asked before anything gets built.
Own product analytics instrumentation: audit existing tracking, identify gaps, and work with engineers to close them.
Build and maintain dbt models that serve as the foundation for product, growth, and operational reporting.
Design and maintain dashboards and self-serve tools that help PMs and leadership answer their own questions.
Drive our understanding of engagement, retention, and activation and surface insights that inform product decisions.
Identify leading indicators of product-market fit and help the team track them over time.
Build and maintain scalable data pipelines across our data warehouse, scoped to product and user data.
Collaborate closely with the analytics engineers who own clinical and research data, coordinating on shared infrastructure and data standards without stepping on each other's domains.
Proactively surface data quality issues within the product and growth domain and establish standards that make our data trustworthy.
