## About the role

This is the founding data hire. You will build Hubble's data platform from the warehouse layer up, make decisions on architecture, determine processes for managing schema and data models, and work with many stakeholders.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years building production data systems, with 2+ years at senior or staff scope owning architecture rather than executing someone else's
- Deep SQL and dimensional modeling: star schemas, slowly changing dimensions, grain discipline. You can explain fact tables and grains
- dbt (or similar) in production: model organization, macros, incremental strategies, tests as contracts, and CI that blocks bad merges
- Cloud data warehouse depth, ideally Redshift (or similar): distribution and sort keys, vacuum and analyze behavior, workload management, and the ability to take a slow query apart and make it fast
- Python or Scala for the specialized pipelines: custom connectors against proprietary APIs, backfills, and reconciliation jobs
- Event and product analytics instrumentation: you've defined a tracking plan, argued about event taxonomy, and built funnel tables that survive contact with a changing product
