Contractor: Lead Analytics Engineer
Newsela, Remote - Argentina +4
What you will do
- Set the technical direction for the analytics team (architecture, conventions, approach).
- Raise the technical floor through code review, design reviews, and pairing, holding a consistent bar for what ships.
- Own the architecture of our data models, with accountability for long-term maintainability rather than just the models you write yourself.
- Own the semantic layer, metric definitions, and governed self-service, so stakeholders can answer their own questions correctly.
- Act as the primary technical partner to Product, Finance, Marketing, and Engineering, translating what they need into a roadmap the team can execute.
- Negotiate scope directly with stakeholders.
- Drive a cadence of proactive analysis so the team surfaces questions the business hasn't asked, rather than waiting for tickets.
- Define the team's data testing strategy and govern how business logic is validated across the analytics layer.
- Own the operational health of the analytics layer (monitoring, alerting, incident response, and release readiness for what the team ships).
