What the job involves
- Payscale is seeking an Analytics Engineer to join our business intelligence team and help build the data foundation that powers insights across our organization
- In this role, you'll bridge the gap between raw data and analytics-ready datasets, working closely with both technical and business stakeholders to ensure our team has reliable, well-modeled data
- The ideal candidate excels at combining their technical architecting skills with an ability to use data to answer business questions
- An ability to effectively support cross-functional stakeholders is critical
- As an Analytics Engineer, you'll partner with our Senior Analytics Engineer to design and build scalable data models, collaborate with our Data Engineering team to bring new data sources into our warehouse, and work alongside BI Analysts to understand and meet their analytical needs
- While primarily focused on data infrastructure, this individual may also be asked to build Tableau dashboards and conduct other ad hoc analytical work
- Design and build dimensional data models in Snowflake that serve as the foundation for analytics and reporting
- Write clean, efficient, well-documented SQL to transform raw data into analytics-ready datasets
- Create reusable data models that can be leveraged across multiple use cases and business domains
- Optimize query performance and data pipeline efficiency
- Establish and maintain data modeling standards and best practices
- Advance automation efforts that help the team spend less time manipulating & validating data and more time analyzing and story telling
- Partner with business stakeholders (Sales, Customer Success, Finance, Product) to understand data needs and business logic
- Work with Data Engineering team to scope, prioritize, and integrate new data sources into the warehouse
- Collaborate with BI Analysts to understand their analytical requirements and build datasets that enable self-service analytics
- Translate business requirements into technical data specifications
- Participate in requirements gathering and solution design discussions
- Develop monitoring and alerting mechanisms to maintain integrity and reliability of the data warehouse
- Investigate and resolve data issues or errors in the data warehouse and work to solve the root cause
- Create and maintain documentation detailing data models, data dictionaries, and business logic
- Build reports and dashboards to surface key metrics to the business (e.g., Tableau)
Our take
Although pay isn't always the main motivator when it comes to selecting a new job, compensation matters for a raft of reasons. All things being equal, talent that is underpaid will pass on an uncompetitive offer and become demotivated by lower-than-market pay, and the gender gap in salaries sees women earning up to 20% less than men in the same roles which is both unfair and bad for morale.
Payscale exists to provide a clear view of a company's overall offering while at the same time providing real-time data on the jobs market, allowing HR teams to adjust compensation and price jobs instantly and accurately in line with their industry's standards. It also gives jobseekers information on expected salaries for the positions they are interested in along with a range of career planning and negotiation tools.
This approach is sorely needed, as governments are beginning to legislate on pay transparency and jobseekers are increasingly expecting to know where they stand compared to the people they'll be working next to. Already counting The Washington Post, United Healthcare and the New York Times among its customers, Payscale has grown steadily through marketing and aggressive acquisitions, and is now very well placed to take advantage of the move to benefits transparency in the HR sector.
