  • Drive automation of standardized reporting, analysis, and processes across our various revenue segments and compute spend
  • Design and deliver dashboards to leadership that measure key performance indicators and provide for optimal business decision making
  • Create visualizations to present findings in a clear, concise manner
  • Develop accurate forecasts for revenue, compute consumption and its underlying drivers
  • Support product pricing and other business decisions with ad hoc analysis as needed
  • Manage cross-functional data science projects

  • Excellent communication skills and "story telling" ability when presenting data insights
  • Best-in-class attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy
  • Knowledge of Python (a strong plus)

You could be an especially great fit if:
  • You're an enthusiastic self-starter. You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, and expect to fully own your function. You take ownership of your work and believe that a job not done well is a job not done.
  • You're a master of manipulating data. Making data flow seamlessly is an art, and you are obsessed with the paintbrush. You extract hidden insights that drive better decisions and are constantly looking for ways to improve your analyses. You're detailed and diligent.
  • You're a phenomenal teammate. You're a strong communicator who can explain complex topics with ease, in any format. You intuitively understand the importance of keeping everyone in the loop, and you take proactive measures to do so. You're intellectually honest.
  • You're passionate about technology and artificial intelligence.
