Analytics Engineer, Finance and Modeling
About the role
Analytics Engineer (Finance & Modeling)
What you'll accomplish
Governed metrics.
Reporting Finance can run without you.
Numbers that reconcile.
Forecasting for Finance.
Cohort subscriber and revenue projection, and aggregate renewal and retention forecasting, feeding the CFO's forecast and board reporting. LTV by acquisition source, feeding paid spend allocation with Growth. Pricing and promo impact, modeled before we ship rather than measured after. Individual churn propensity and uplift follow once there's a retention motion ready to act on the scores.
- Models ship as scored tables in dbt and Unity Catalog, with tests, lineage and a definition the agent can answer from. Not as notebooks.
Who you are
- Statistically rigorous. You know why a cohort curve is the wrong shape, what a model is leaking, and when a result is noise.
- Fluent in finance, and unwilling to let a number you can't explain go out the door. When two systems disagree, you find out why and tell the people upstream.
- An engineer who owns the number end to end, from a CFO's question through the model, the test, the report and the conversation that follows. A spreadsheet nobody can reproduce reads to you as a liability.
- AI-proficient in practice, not in theory. Claude Code, coding agents and agent SDKs are part of our daily loop, and we expect you to already work this way. A lot of what used to be a week of modeling work is now an afternoon, and we're hiring for people who have internalized that.
- Willing to wear several hats. This is a small team supporting four brands. Some weeks you're deep in a retention model, some weeks you're chasing an app store discrepancy or unblocking someone else's dashboard. The scope above is the center of the role, not a fence around it.
- Motivated by work that matters. Families rely on these products during real moments in their lives.
What you bring
- 3+ years in analytics engineering, data science, BI engineering or advanced analytics.
- Statistical modeling shipped into a business process: forecasting, survival or cohort analysis, or propensity.
- Measuring the lift from a price change or a growth experiment. You don't need to have designed the test, but you need to be able to read the result honestly and say what it's worth.
- Subscription metrics you've built and defended to a finance stakeholder: ARR/MRR, renewal, churn, LTV/CAC, or cohort revenue.
- Strong SQL and real dimensional modeling. You've designed marts, not just queried them.
- Python and Git as daily habits.
Nice to have, not a dealbreaker
- dbt, Databricks and Unity Catalog, or a comparable lakehouse.
- Reconciling transactional data to a financial system of record.
- Code-first notebook reporting (marimo, Hex, Streamlit, Quarto).
