About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
  • At least 2–3+ years in a Data Analyst or Business Analyst role, preferably in a product-based lean startup, particularly in logistics, ecommerce, or a B2B SaaS data-heavy domain.
  • Exceptionally skilled in Python and SQL, with the demonstrated ability to consistently produce reusable and highly scalable code.
  • An eye for detail and proven experience turning messy data into clear visualizations.
  • Use AI tools where they improve QA, automation, and analysis, and validate their output; be able to explain the anomaly, root cause, and fix independently and flag AI-assisted work.
  • Respond promptly to customer needs on a day-to-day basis, programmatically or manually, to meet expectations and deliver on time.
  • Clearly communicate nuanced ideas in remote discussions and writing, engage thoughtfully with differing perspectives, and compromise when needed.
  • Experience working in a diverse, dynamic, and cross-cultural team, with an ownership mindset, efficiency, and a data-driven approach.

Responsibilities

  • Document, report, and conduct root-cause analysis of prediction issues, owning each problem end to end.
  • Analyze ingested and system-generated data for anomalies and gaps, and consult various data sources to fill those gaps.
  • Identify patterns behind issues, propose fixes through QA process-flow changes and/or automation, and own the resulting plan and execution.
  • Automate performance and accuracy reviews, report generation, and data visualization using Python and SQL by building reusable, scalable workflows.
  • Support Engineering and Data Science with system-level data fixes, understand how the prediction engine works, and explore improvements through fixing or introducing data and features.
  • Support Customer Operations and Marketing with data insights on performance, accuracy metrics, and the impact of real-time events as needed.
  • Maintain and own internal and customer dashboards based on trial and account requirements, including prediction accuracy, timeliness, coverage, and explainability.

Desired Qualifications

  • A basic understanding of machine learning algorithms.
  • Experience in a product-based lean startup, particularly in logistics, ecommerce, or a B2B SaaS data-heavy domain.
