## About the role

YipitData's Central Data team sits at the foundation of everything we deliver. We build the standardized data products, methodologies, and systems that power every downstream business — from our investment research and corporate products to our data feeds. Historically, many teams solved similar data problems independently. Central Data exists to identify those common patterns and build shared solutions that improve quality, consistency, and speed across the company.

## What they're looking for

- You have expert fluency in SQL and experience using Python or PySpark, including building reliable, reusable analysis workflows
- You have a proven track record of quickly learning complex data methodologies and building strong mental models of how and why data works
- You have led complex, ambiguous projects with multiple stakeholders - scoping the approach, driving alignment, and delivering outcomes - with a strong bias toward action and ownership
- You calibrate rigor to the stakes - you know how much precision a given decision or problem merits, and you don't over- or under-invest
- You reason about bias and representativeness , not just averages - you ask whether dropped rows, inconsistent formatting, or gaps in coverage are systematically skewed before drawing conclusions
- You're skilled at working with messy, inconsistent datasets and evolving schemas, and you bring the detail-orientation and discipline to make that work reliable
