THE TEAM Our Data and Services Team empowers the world to invest fearlessly by building robust data pipelines and products that power advisors and their firms across the wealth management industry. WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON As an Analytics Engineer on the Data & Services team, you contribute to production data workflows and analytics products for our customers. This is a hybrid role that combines engineering rigor and an analyst’s understanding of the data. You build confidence in data correctness, delivery reliability, and domain fluency while making consistent production impact.

Requirements

Experience. You bring early-career experience building data pipelines, analytics workflows, or production data systems, or equivalent hands-on academic or project experience that demonstrates production-grade habits. Experience may come from dedicated data roles or meaningful data ownership within full stack teams.
Applied Experience. This role requires substantial practical experience working with real datasets. Coursework alone is not sufficient.
Data Engineering. You write clear, correct SQL in Snowflake/dbt and can work effectively within an established warehouse architecture. You implement joins, aggregations, and window functions appropriately, and you can extend existing pipelines safely.
Analytical Rigor. You can reason about what “correct” data should look like, validate outputs against business expectations, and explain discrepancies clearly.
Data Investigation. You can trace data lineage across models and sources, narrow hypotheses, and identify root causes and collaborate with senior engineers when broader architectural changes are required. You communicate findings with evidence and propose practical fixes.
AI Tools. You adopt modern AI developer tools to accelerate delivery and improve quality. If your prior exposure is light, you ramp quickly and use them responsibly in production workflows.
Continuous Improvement. You incorporate feedback, strengthen engineering habits, and improve reliability of your work over time. You seek ways to reduce recurring issues through better tests, documentation, and automation.
