As a Data Analytics Engineer at VIA, you'll play a pivotal role in the growth of our solutions. You'll turn raw, complex, and often ambiguous data into the clear, trusted narratives that power VIA's data products and guide our customers' decisions. Operating on a high-velocity Agile team, you'll work cross-functionally with software engineers, data peers, and client delivery professionals to lead data initiatives end to end, in an environment where precision, security, and clarity are non-negotiable.

In this role, you will:

Partner with VIA's client delivery team and customers to translate domain knowledge into data infrastructure requirements, validate assumptions, and resolve data-related issues
Explore customer data to build a clear picture of contents and characteristics (e.g. averages, expected ranges, trends, standard deviations) and make suggestions for data cleaning and analysis

Build AI-powered data products

Deliver data-based products to external customers, including interactive data analysis and investigation platforms, data quality reports, statistical analysis, and visualizations that turn complex findings into clear stories
Build AI into VIA's data products, for example through automated insights, anomaly detection, AI-assisted data quality checks, and natural-language interfaces over operational data
Evaluate the quality and reliability of AI/ML outputs against domain expectations, and design the human-in-the-loop checks that keep our data products trustworthy

Oversee data pipelines

Own the design, quality, and reliability of ETL/ELT pipelines, including work built with AI assistance
Coordinate with internal stakeholders and customers when information is missing or discrepancies are found
Run quality control on data and data products through both automated tests and targeted manual review, and document the assumptions and decisions made along the way so the work stays traceable

Improve the platform

Contribute to the continual improvement of internal tools for data cleaning, modeling and analytics, and data quality assessment by identifying key data-related challenges that are ideal candidates for automation and AI enhancement
