More about this role
At Instructure , we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers.
We do this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. And that's where you come in:
We're hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to build the data models that teams across Instructure use to run the business. You'll work in dbt and Snowflake every day. You'll also sit in the room with business leaders, understand the decisions they're making, and design data that answers their questions correctly the first time.
This role is broad by design. You'll support analytics across Finance, Operations, Product Management, Sales, and other parts of the company, so you'll see how the whole business fits together. It suits someone who writes clean SQL and also asks "what is this number used for?" before building it. You'll own models from source to dashboard, and you'll help set the standards for how we design, test, and document our data.
