About the team
The Data Platform team sits within Alloy's Intelligence vertical and owns the infrastructure that powers how data is modeled, governed, and delivered — both internally and to customers. We work at the intersection of data engineering and analytical depth, with a stack built around dbt, Snowflake, and Artie, and a growing investment in our semantic layer.
This is an early but high-leverage moment for Analytics Engineering at Alloy. We have the tooling, the data, and the leadership experience to build this function the right way — and this role is central to that effort. The person who joins will help establish the patterns, standards, and culture of Analytics Engineering here.
The strategic stakes are real: native warehouse data delivery is becoming a core part of how we serve customers, agentic workflows depend on a well-maintained semantic layer, and OLAP infrastructure is increasingly woven into our product stack. Analytics Engineering sits at the center of all three.
Alloy operates in a hybrid-work environment. We look to foster collaboration and community by having our local employees onsite three days a week.
What you'll do
You'll manage the Data Platform team: hire for it, grow the people on it and set its direction. This is a player-coach role. Roughly half your time goes to hands-on work on the platform, and the other half to leading the team.
- Lead a team of two engineers. Set clear direction, run one-on-ones and performance reviews, give direct feedback and coach each person toward work that stretches them
- Hire as the team grows. Define the roles, run the interview loops and decide who joins
- Own the data platform end to end: ingestion and change data capture, the Snowflake warehouse, dbt and the semantic layer, and the tooling that internal and customer-facing analytics run on
- Ship native warehouse data sharing into customers' own environments, including the schema contracts customers will build on for years
- Design how sensitive customer data is handled across analytics and BI, so teams get the answers they need and customer data stays protected
- Set the team's technical standard for modeling, testing, documentation and code review, and meet it in your own code
- Work with Product, Compliance and other engineering teams to decide what data we expose, to whom and under what constraints. Make the platform good enough that teams choose it over building their own
What we're looking for
You want both halves of this job. You'd be unhappy in a role that took you away from building, and just as unhappy in one where nobody grew because of you.
- Deep analytics engineering and data systems experience. Strong SQL, dbt and a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake preferred), with real depth in data modeling: grain, slowly changing dimensions and what makes a model trustworthy
- Experience owning architecture from ingestion through the warehouse to delivery, including ingestion and change data capture tools (Artie or similar) and how they fail: late-arriving data, schema drift, out-of-order events
- A record of leading people. You've set direction others followed, grown someone on purpose, given feedback that was hard to give and raised a team's standard. Formal management experience is not required. We care about what you did, not the title you held
