The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Data Engineer / Analytics Engineer to own and evolve REBEL’s data platform, reporting layer, and AI-driven data capabilities.
You’ll report directly to the Head of Data & Analytics and operate as a high-impact individual contributor across finance, operations, merchandising, marketing, and product. This is a builder role, not a people manager role.
You’ll be expected to move quickly, work scrappily, and take ownership from problem definition through implementation. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a startup or scale-up environment, where speed, iteration, and pragmatism matter more than perfection.
What You’ll Do
- Own and evolve REBEL’s data architecture across ingestion, transformation, and reporting layers, with a centralized cloud data warehouse.
- Build and maintain scalable data pipelines across a variety of internal and external data sources, ensuring reliability, completeness, and accuracy.
- Develop robust validation frameworks to monitor data quality and quickly identify issues.
- Write and optimize complex SQL to power analytics, reporting, and business decision-making.
- Design and maintain data models that support financial reporting, operational analytics, and merchandising insights.
- Partner closely with Finance to ensure accurate, reconcilable reporting across revenue, costs, and unit economics.
- Build and maintain dashboards and reporting used by leadership to drive decisions across the company.
- Identify and resolve data issues quickly, balancing speed and accuracy in a fast-moving environment.
- Support integrations between core business systems and ensure clean, consistent data across platforms.
- Explore and implement AI-driven workflows that enhance data accessibility and decision-making.
- Automate manual reporting processes and improve operational efficiency across teams.
- Act as a cross-functional partner, translating ambiguous business questions into clear, actionable insights.
What We’re Looking For
- 5–10+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or advanced analytics roles.
- Strong experience with GCP and BigQuery, including materialized views, scheduled queries, and large-scale SQL optimization.
- Experience with modern data ingestion tools—Airbyte (Cloud or OSS) strongly preferred; comfort managing connectors, debugging sync failures, and building validation frameworks.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and data modeling, with comfort using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate development. You should be fluent in CTEs, window functions, UNION ALL patterns, date-spine techniques, and anti-join logic.
- Proven experience supporting financial reporting and working closely with finance teams—P&L reconciliation, COGS analysis, revenue waterfalls, and unit-economics datasets.
- Experience building dashboards and reporting in modern BI tools.
- Familiarity with AI workflows and building structured datasets for LLM-powered agents.
- Experience working across multiple business domains (ops, marketing, finance, product, etc.).
- Strong ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with shifting priorities.
Bonus Points
- Experience with ERP or inventory management systems (especially warehouse/3PL integrations).
- Experience in ecommerce, recommerce, logistics, or marketplace businesses—especially Shopify-based platforms.
- Familiarity with multi-touch attribution, post-purchase surveys (e.g., Fairing/PPS), or event-level GA4 data.
- Experience with customer cohort analysis, retention modeling, or LTV forecasting.
- Exposure to pricing, inventory aging, or supply chain/fulfillment data systems.
- Experience with Klaviyo, Attentive, or similar lifecycle marketing data integrations.
- Familiarity with demographic enrichment tools or custom API connector development.
Why You’ll Love Working at REBEL
- High ownership IC role: Build and own critical systems without layers of management.
- AI-forward: Work on real, practical AI applications across data and operations—not hypothetical use cases.
- Direct business impact: Your work will influence finance, ops, merchandising, and product decisions daily.
- Startup energy: Move fast, ship quickly, and see immediate results.
- Purpose with impact: Help solve the $1T returns problem while enabling consumers to Shop Smarter™.
