About the role
Our Data & Analytics Platform team has migrated from Redshift to Snowflake, enabled 100+ users, and centralized all business data in under three months. We're a lean team with a clear remit: ensure a single source of truth for all business data. With Snowflake now adopted across the company, we're hiring an Analytics Lead to selectively expand this mandate to AI-first analytics and our highest-leverage data and analytics problems . This is a senior individual contributor role. You'll operate across three modes: pioneer (stand up net new analytics capabilities), special forces (identify and own the toughest, most critical-path data problems), and strategist (build a taxonomy, domain ontology, semantic layer, and other foundations that compound). No direct reports. Just real ownership, autonomy, and impact. About 30% of this role is stakeholder-facing. The teams you'll partner with often run on Airtable or spreadsheets today. You'll meet them where they are, know when to go deep versus ship a stopgap, and build things they'll actually rely on. If the boundary between technical rigor and pragmatic delivery is where you do your best work, this role is built for you.

Responsibilities
- Own and build out our AI-first analytics infrastructure end-to-end: semantic layer, LLM tooling, evals, and agents that analytically empower every team in the company.
- Maintain this AI-first analytics infrastructure so it doesn't decay as the business grows.
- Define and implement the taxonomy and domain ontology to match Expert Contributors to projects and tasks at scale. This is foundational to our marketplace business model.
- Architect a demand and supply model that gives leadership a shared, forward-looking view of where we're exposed and where to invest across domains, geographies, and acquisition channels.
- Identify the next highest-leverage opportunities where the Data Team can address a business-limiting constraint and help prioritize them.
- Be a trusted thought partner on data architecture, taxonomy, and analytics approach for operators, engineers, and executives across Snorkel.
Requirements
- 5+ years in data roles spanning analytics engineering, analytics, and data science, with comfort owning and moving between these types of work over the course of a project.
- SQL fluency, strong Python skills, familiarity with the modern data stack (e.g. Fivetran, dbt), and hands-on Snowflake or comparable cloud warehouse experience.
- High-autonomy IC track record: you don't need a team to get high-impact work done.
- Hands-on experience with modern AI tooling: LLMs, semantic layers, eval frameworks, and the infrastructure work required to put these into production.
- Experience identifying high-leverage opportunities in startups without a fully defined analytics agenda and comfort in going from 0-to-1 in high-growth environments.
- Genuine enjoyment of stakeholder partnership: you value co-defining problems and sharing findings with business and tech leads, rather than seeing it as a distraction.
- Bonus points for: Streamlit and/or Snowflake Cortex experience, familiarity with AI/data labeling, DaaS, or marketplace business models, experience building semantic layers or BI infrastructure, and A/B testing in marketplace or workforce platform contexts
