The Role

Come help us and our customers learn about the world. Below is a small sample of the questions we’ve asked of our data over the last year. 
 

• Did Lyft’s prospects improve in politically progressive areas in the aftermath of Uber’s press woes?
• Is Amazon’s revenue growth in the fourth quarter primarily driven by customers in rural areas?
• How did the path of the solar eclipse affect hotel bookings across the United States?
   

With industry leading companies using insights gleaned from our data to understand how purchase and travel behavior is changing in America, the ability to marshall the volume and complexity of our data is paramount.

You will help design, implement, and maintain the infrastructure on which our data move.

You identify and vet new technologies that will help us ingest and transform data.
