Data Engineer II
Introduction:
The Zebra, named a Best Place to Work in Austin four years running, is revolutionizing how connected consumers research and shop for insurance. We intentionally strive to build diverse teams that feel inclusive for all. Our motto is 'All Stripes Welcome,' and we put that into practice by valuing both traditional and non-conventional backgrounds and perspectives. Our Zeebs are passionate about learning, growing, & working together to tackle exciting problems.
The Zebra is seeking an Analytics Engineer II that will be responsible for helping us understand and curate our data. You will immediately contribute to the goal of demonstrating our rich datasets to make smarter business decisions. You should be ready to take ownership and have broad responsibilities within a fast-growing company in an extensive industry.
Location:
While we are open to remote work across the contingent US, we are still in the process of establishing our company to support work in all states! We’ve shifted to a hybrid model and love the flexibility it allows our employees. We are set up to support employees who want to be fully remote, in-office only, or a mix of the two. We will NOT be supporting work based out of the following states: CA, MA, NJ, & NY.
What You'll Do:
Design and build ELT/ETL processes and connectors (using Python, DBT, and Flink) to integrate internal and external data sources into the The Zebra’s data warehouse
Assist in the creation of Dimensions & Facts in a starflake schema and create DBT DAG to populate the tables
Document our data models and transformations for stakeholder review
Create reports and dashboards within Looker
Work closely with other engineers, designers and Engineering Leadership to rapidly build, iterate, test and deploy new features and products and maintain a high-quality robust codebase
What We're Looking For:
As we evaluate candidates across all roles, we look for folks who have a strong sense of ownership, great communication and collaboration skills, and a dedication to continuous improvement.
3+ years of professional (or comparable) data engineering experience
Experience with SQL,Python, DBT, Kafka, Gitlab
Experience with relational databases
Strong attention to detail
A passion for problem solving with strong analytical capabilities
A desire to follow exceptional software engineering processes
Comfort with the Unix/Linux command line
Undergraduate degree in Computer Science
Experience that will Impress the Heck Out of Us:
Experience with Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery, programming experience in Python
Experience creating data visualizations using Javascript
Github profile or public code portfolio
Advanced STEM degree
Benefits & Perks:
Inclusive and healthy environments are crafted intentionally. All of our employees can join and participate in (or create your own!) Employee Resource Groups. Here are some other wonderful perks of working here:
Competitive Compensation & Stock Option Offering
Health, Dental, Vision & Disability Coverages
HSA offering + employer contribution
401k plan + employer match
Unlimited PTO (paid time off)+ the flexibility to enjoy it
Paid Parental Leave Program
Wellness perk ($100/month)
Pet Adoption Reimbursement ($300/year)
Learning & Development Opportunities
Join a team that truly lives their values (outside of the office. Cliche, we know… but we really mean it)
