About the role
Answer recurring business questions across GTM, People, Product and Engineering using SQL, Python, and whatever AI tooling gets there fastest. Build small internal tools - vibe coded apps, Slack bots, scripts, lightweight dashboards, AI skills - that eliminate a manual report or a repeated ad hoc request. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years in a data analyst, analytics engineer, or BI role, with real SQL and Python fluency
- Hands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to build something real - a script, an agent, an automation - not just to summarize text
- A builder's instinct: when a manual process repeats twice, the next step is automating it, not doing it a third time
- Able to go from a vague stakeholder ask to a specific, well-scoped answer without heavy hand-holding
- Clear written communication - can explain a finding or a tool to someone non-technical in a few sentences
- Experience at a startup where the data stack and tooling were still being built, not inherited mature
More about this role
Outset invented a better way to do research: AI-powered user interviews.
Global brands like Hubspot, Microsoft, Uber and Nestle use Outset to achieve deeper, qualitative insights about their users at unprecedented speed and scale.
The research industry is massive (>$140B and growing) and ripe for disruption. Incumbents are outdated, slow, and burdened by high-cost services. That's our opportunity.
Outset is backed by top Silicon Valley investors and raised a $30M Series B in December 2025—less than six months after our Series A—led by Radical Ventures with participation from M12 (Microsoft’s venture arm), 8VC, Y Combinator, and Adverb Ventures.
The raise follows a breakout year, with our business growing 8x as enterprise customers across industries adopt our category, AI‑moderated research, as the new standard for understanding people.
We’re a tight-knit team serving some of the world’s largest enterprises.
This analyst turns Outset's own data into decisions faster than a traditional analytics hire would, by using AI tools as a core part of the workflow rather than bolting them on afterward. They're as comfortable writing a SQL query to understand critical business data...
