About AirGarage 🏙

AirGarage is repurposing the 30% of real estate in the average American city currently dedicated to parking.

We are building a future where real estate is digitized and can be transitioned from one use to another seamlessly on-demand, moving every piece of urban real estate toward its highest and best use.

We are starting with the $131 billion US parking real estate market because it is one of the most offline and mismanaged commercial real estate asset types.

As a full-stack parking operator, we automate the operation of parking lots and parking garages. We handle everything from advertising to collecting payments from drivers and enforcing against illegal parking. We already operate 250+ parking lots and parking garages across 35 US states and we are growing quickly.

We are backed by top tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more.

THE ROLE 👩🏾‍💻

Data is a competitive advantage for AirGarage. As such, the Data team at AirGarage is not merely a service function for internal stakeholders — we are a value-driving function for the business at large.

As an early member of this small but mighty team, reporting directly to the Chief Data Officer, you will play a critical role in ensuring that the company’s data is maximized. To do so, you will be helping build and maintain the world’s best parking database.

This role requires you to be an exceptional steward of data: obsessing over data quality and curating raw data into clean and reliable models ripe for insight generation. While we expect you to have speciality in analytics engineering, we are still a small team so you will also have the opportunity to stretch across all aspects of data from generating new data to analyzing it.

We’re not looking for someone to spend all their time optimizing code, we also need you to stay close to business users and be intimately familiar with their data needs — your talents in analytics engineering should help us foster a data-driven culture and empower every team in the company to use data more effectively.

WHAT YOU WILL DO 👷‍♀️

• Partner with our founding team and company leadership to build out a best-in-class analytics system to give our partners insight into their parking lot and garage performance and super charge our internal organization.

• Work with our engineering, data, sales, marketing, and product teams to understand the data needs of the business and produce pipelines, data marts and other data solutions that enable better decision-making.

• Develop scalable code that transforms raw data in an automated and efficient manner to ensure curated and ready-to-analyze data is always available.

• Identify new data sources we can leverage to improve the company’s performance in core business activities; this can take the form of collaborating with our engineering team to improve data logging, scraping data from the web, or using third-party datasets.

• Conduct data analyses to assist partner teams in diagnosing issues, understanding opportunities, or measuring performance.

• Troubleshoot and communicate data issues to internal stakeholders, including by building code tests to alert us when there is a problem in our data before it affects end users.

• Play a critical role in helping define data team best practices, workflows, and documentation to ensure we are building a sustainable and scalable data function.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR 👩🏼‍🎓

• A degree in engineering, science, math, or a related analytical field.

• 5 - 10 years of experience in Data Engineering or Analytics Engineering.

• Experience with the modern data stack (Snowflake / dbt / Polytomic / Hex or equivalents).

• Advanced fluency in SQL and Python (bonus for Snowpark) — knowing how to write intricate queries and build automated pipelines.

• Prior experience with data modeling and writing performant queries in a data warehouse setting on large datasets.

• Passion for data — you’re excited by the opportunity to clean up messy datasets and obsess over how to bring data to the table for decision-making.

• Extreme attention to detail and nuance — this is a critical quality when the stakes are high and trust is everything to our partners.

• Innate curiosity — proactively asking questions and independently chasing down the answers to those questions.

• Systems-thinker — you understand all the inter-connected parts of a process and know how a change in one part of a system will affect other parts of the system.

• A growth mindset — you should be a lifelong learner, hungry to challenge yourself and grow.
