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
Good judgment about sequencing. Given more good ideas than quarters, you pick what comes first and can explain why the rest wait
Experience getting other teams to adopt something you built, or agreeing a constraint with a function that had reasons to resist, with the relationship intact afterwards
Based in the New York City area and able to work from our Union Square office Tuesday through Thursday
Nice-to-haves
Experience with native warehouse data delivery, such as Snowflake Data Sharing or Marketplace
Background in fintech, financial services or another regulated industry, especially handling PII in analytics
Experience building a semantic or metrics layer and connecting it to BI tools
Exposure to agentic or LLM-based workflows and the data infrastructure behind them
We're a lean team, so your impact will be felt immediately, and opportunities will grow as the company scales up. If this all sounds like a good fit for you, why not join us?
