This role will own the data stack end‑to‑end – from building data pipelines to surfacing insights that drive real decisions across the business. There is no dedicated data team yet. You’ll be the first, and you’ll define what this function becomes. This is a role with real ownership from day one – you’ll define the problems, build the infrastructure and deliver the insights. You’ll work in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment where your work has immediate impact, with close collaboration across engineering, ops, sales and product.

No dedicated data team yet. If you want to inherit a perfect stack, this isn’t it. If you want to build one, let’s talk.
