Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or hybrid data roles
- Strong proficiency in SQL and Python
- Deep hands-on experience with Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse
- Production experience with dbt, including testing, documentation, and CI
- Experience with product analytics platforms, ideally Amplitude, including funnels, cohorts, experiment configuration, and identity resolution
- Experience with customer data platforms and event pipelines, ideally Segment, including tracking plan design, destination management, and debugging
- Demonstrated experience designing and analyzing A/B tests or product experiments
- Experience with orchestration tools such as Prefect, Airflow, or Dagster
- Comfortable with Git-based workflows and CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions
- Uses AI tools (code assistants, LLMs, etc.) as part of daily work and can show how
- Familiarity with BI tools like Sigma, Looker, or Tableau
- Bonus: experience with semantic layers, data contracts, ML/LLM applications in production, or cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- You treat trust in the numbers as the product. When a metric is wrong, you feel it personally
- You can build an event taxonomy from scratch and also explain to a PM why their experiment needs a bigger sample size
- You’re as comfortable writing dbt models as you are reviewing an experiment readout with a product lead
- You use AI tools every day to move faster and expect to keep pushing that boundary
- You’re self-directed and comfortable managing your own priorities in a fast-moving environment
- You care about data quality, reproducibility, and documentation because you’ve been burned by their absence
- You love animals
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Lead Data/Analytics Engineer to own how Dutch measures its product and business
- You’ll run the event instrumentation pipeline, build the models and metrics layers that teams use to make decisions, and sit shoulder-to-shoulder with product managers to design and analyze experiments
- Ts. When data engineering work needs doing, you can pick it up without missing a beat
- This is a senior individual contributor role. You’ll work across our modern data stack: Segment and Amplitude for behavioral data, Snowflake and dbt for warehousing and modeling, Prefect for orchestration, and Sigma for BI
- You’ll partner with the BI team (which governs all data model builds) and with product engineering to make sure every dashboard, metric, and experiment runs on data the company trusts
- Product Analytics & Experimentation (40%)
- Own the event pipeline from instrumentation through Segment into Amplitude, Iterable, and Snowflake, including sources, destinations, and reverse ETL
- Define and publish a typed event schema and governance workflow that frontend teams build against, so event data stays consistent across web and mobile
- Design and validate tracking plans for new features and surfaces, and confirm events flow end to end before launch
- Partner with product managers to design experiments in Amplitude: define hypotheses, select metrics, set guardrails, and size tests
- Build Amplitude charts, funnels, cohorts, and dashboards that help product teams answer their own questions without waiting on you
- Debug identity resolution, user properties, and experiment assignment issues across Segment, Amplitude, and downstream tools
- Analyze experiment results and present findings to stakeholders with clear recommendations
- Data Engineering & Infrastructure (35%)
- Build, maintain, and optimize ELT pipelines using dbt, Prefect and Fivetran
- Own core datasets and dbt models in Snowflake in partnership with the BI and product engineering teams
- Lead infrastructure modernization: orchestration and dbt version upgrades, flow runtime reduction, Snowflake compute and storage cost optimization
- Drive warehouse security and governance work, including access controls, remediation of security assessment findings, and PII handling
- Implement data quality tests, freshness checks, observability, and alerting across critical pipelines
- Troubleshoot pipeline failures and data incidents, and drive root-cause fixes rather than patches
- Metrics, Semantic Layer & AI Data Products (25%)
- Deliver ready-to-consume data marts that power product features such as recommendations and personalization, plus the baselines to measure them
- Contribute to the semantic layer that gives BI tools and AI features a single source of truth for metric definitions
- Supply reliable, well-governed data to AI features that improve the member experience and vet workflows
- Define and document the company’s core metrics so every team calculates things the same way
Our take
As most pet owners know, visits to the vet can be eye-wateringly expensive. That’s not just a financial cost, but a welfare risk for pets as owners often wait until their pet is experiencing a much larger issue so that they can make the most of one vet visit and just one fee.
Dutch flips the veterinary business model on its head by providing a telemedicine service for pets through a monthly subscription. Pet owners are asked to provide a few details, after which they can set up a time for a video call. And once they've completed their first visit, they can reconnect with a vet at any time through the platform.
The company has invested funding in growing its electronic medical records database - to make it easier for pet owners to collect and share their pets’ data and prescriptions. It's also been growing its pharmacy network, and even launched pet insurance in partnership with Pets Best.
While it began with a focus on chronic pet health, Dutch has since grown into a full-service virtual care platform. With smart tech, fast growth, and a loyal user base, it's becoming a go-to for modern pet care. Plus, it recently announced its was pursuing its next stage of growth by expanding its marketing team and efforts.
