As a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer on the WordPress VIP team, you will:

  • You have experience developing and optimizing ETL workflows using common data engineering tools (e.g., Airflow, Python, SQL, spark) to centralize data from disparate systems into a single source of truth.

  • You have designed and developed interactive BI dashboards and reports that provide actionable insights for stakeholders across the organization, enabling data-driven decision-making.
  • Experience in sales and marketing tech stack systems like Salesforce, Hubspot, and/or Bizible.
  • You’ve worked in a Hadoop ecosystem before (in the day-to-day, we use Impala, Hive, and Spark) or have experience with Snowflake or Redshift.
  • You know and love working on business intelligence solutions: we use Looker as our platform, but experience with a different tool and an ability to learn can go a long way.
  • You’re highly collaborative and experienced in working with business owners, executives, developers, and creative teams to discuss data, strategy, and tests.
  • You care deeply about the user experience when it comes to dashboards and reports, and have crafted creative solutions to identify and surface trends, changes, and anomalies in reporting.
  • You have experience working across teams to deliver analytics solutions and are familiar with the common metrics of software as a service (SaaS) business.
  • You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
  • You’re able to communicate clearly with and about data to technical and non-technical partners.
