Senior Data Engineer - Analytics and Visualization

About ALSO.

We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow.

• Partner with upstream engineers to shape event and telemetry schemas for downstream analytics, Optimize queries, storage, and compute for scale and cost efficiency in AWS

• Define and enforce metric contracts across teams and Implement automated data quality checks (completeness, freshness, correctness)

• Design pre- and post-pipeline validation frameworks and reduce metric drift and dashboard inconsistencies

• Work cross functionally and turn ambiguous business questions into concrete metrics and dashboards

What you will bring:

• 8+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or analytics-focused roles with proven experience owning end-to-end analytics and visualization systems

• Orchestration tools (Airflow, MWAA, Step Functions, or similar)

• Tableau, Power BI, Looker / Looker Studio (or equivalent) and experience building executive and self-serve dashboards

• Strong opinions on visualization UX and metric storytelling

• Event-based data models. Funnel, cohort, and time-series analysis High-volume, high-cardinality datasets
  

Nice to Have

• Experience at large-scale tech companies or data-intensive environments

• Exposure to ML pipelines and feature instrumentation

• Experience migrating or standardizing BI platforms

• Front-end or advanced visualization experience (e.g., d3.js, custom visuals)
