• Bonus points for experience with tools like Looker, Power BI, or Tableau
• High-impact role: Your work directly supports real-time decision-making for thousands of users
• Modern stack: No legacy systems, no duct tape – build the right way from the start
• Remote-first: Work from anywhere, with flexible hours
• Backed for growth: You’ll have a budget for tools, training, and conferences
• Culture-led: Empowered teams, low ego, lots of collaboration
