Requirements

  • Advanced SQL and deep proficiency in data modeling, schema design, and query optimization.
  • Strong grasp of data warehouse architecture and modern modeling methodologies.
  • Hands-on experience applying software engineering practices to data work: Git, CI/CD, code review, automated testing, monitoring.
  • Proficiency with cloud-based data platforms (Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or similar).
  • Strong communicator who is comfortable working across both business stakeholders and engineering teams.

Nice To Haves

  • Production-grade Python — beyond scripting, into shared libraries, services, or pipelines.
  • A platform engineering mindset — building tools and abstractions that make others more productive.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to and help shape the future with work that compounds across every analysis we run at Zip.
  • Bring software engineering rigor to data work: testing, CI/CD, code review, version control, observability and evangelize these practices across the team.
  • Translate complex, cross-domain business questions into robust, well-tested, reusable data sets and models.
  • Collaborate directly with engineering teams to embed analytical and data-modeling capabilities into product systems and pipelines.
  • Coach teammates, raise the technical bar, and help establish standards that scale beyond any single project.
