Who you are
- This role is ideal for someone who constantly strives to deliver high quality code which solves complex problems, has passion about the role of data in organizations, and embraces AI-driven solutions to improve velocity and results
- Strategic Individual Contributor: You’re a hands-on developer but you still possess a vision. You prefer ownership rather than oversight and are energized by building, optimizing, and scaling analytics capabilities
- Domain Fluent: You go deep into the business context—understanding key metrics, how they evolve, and how best to equip others with data that drives action
- Trusted Communicator: You thrive at the intersection of technical and non-technical. You are skilled in translating complex requirements into elegant data products
- Results-Driven: You consistently deliver clean, actionable data models and tools that enable informed decisions across the organization. Open threads, dead code, unused dashboards and messy schemas drive you to action

- 5+ years of experience implementing and scaling DBT in a team setting and growth environment
- 5+ years experience production data modeling utilizing key data warehousing techniques on cloud infrastructure such as Databricks Delta, Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery or other cloud-based platform. You design intuitive, business-friendly data models that support self-service exploration and operational reporting while adhering to conventional concepts
- Very strong understanding of advanced concepts in SQL including under-the-hood performance implications
- Familiarity with Spark or similar distributed data processing technologies
- A track record of building data pipelines on CI/CD such as Github Actions or CircleCI with well-tested pipelines, proactive alerting, and strong data quality standards
- Familiarity with integrating AI and automation tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Natural Language Query tools) to enable you to move faster and deliver higher quality code
- Skilled in visualization platforms such as Looker, Tableau, PowerBI, or similar—both in building dashboards and enabling business users to self-serve effectively
- Self service capabilities in git
- Experience in Python is a bonus
- Experience with Prefect, Dagster, Airflow or other DAG tools is a bonus
- Experience with subscriptions and/or Ecommerce is a bonus

Our take
A child’s first toy - whether that’s building blocks or a Ken doll - will serve their first foray into learning. Lovevery recognizes the relationship between toys and child development, offering Montessori-inspired, naturally made play kits. Subscribers to Lovevery receive a box every few months containing age-appropriate toys that change and grow in tandem with the child.
Whilst the products are aesthetically pleasing and well built, they are uniquely inclusive, being both gender neutral and customizable, such as a doll’s skin tone. Along with information on its accompanying app, each kit comes with “play cards” that provides context around the toy and its educational purpose, creating an informative and empowering space for parents when approaching play.
Lovevery continues to evolve, starting as a play kit provider and now with an app with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Its partnerships with Target and an expansion into the European market indicate impressive growth. A new fulfillment center in Leicestershire, UK opened in 2022, it is only set to continue this way.
