Sr. Analytics Engineer

Role Description

Analytics Engineers at CookUnity are data product owners who sit in a single team on a mission to minimize time spent by analysts and data scientists discovering, understanding, and preparing data before launching into their work. Each analytics engineer has ownership and autonomy over a set of entities/tables in a domain, collaborating on a single data design from first principles that the team owns together. As their products mature, they merchandise them as Tableau Connections, extracts into sheets, or any other endpoint needed to achieve their mission.

Some analytics engineers have an interest in data infrastructure and integrations, others in bringing their data to life through interactive visualizations, but all have the skills to work with unruly raw data, design analytics-friendly data products (including entities and flat tables), and build them to a production standard that the whole company can rely on. Everyone in data at CookUnity comes with a high agency mindset, a passion for collaborating with others, a pattern of achievement, and a sincere interest in investing in their own development.
