You'll build the pipelines and data foundations that provide line of sight into product health, adoption, and performance turning raw, messy data into clean, usable datasets that data scientists, analysts, and stakeholders across the Product organization can rely on. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of business and highly technical products, partner with teams across Product and Engineering, and help shape how we use data to guide product decisions in a fast-paced environment.

We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option. What You'll be Doing * Product Visibility & Health: Drive line of sight into how our products are used and performing by building the data foundation behind product health, adoption, and usage analytics. * Data Pipeline Development: Design and build ETL/ELT pipelines with Databricks, dbt, and AWS that extract, transform, and load data from multiple sources, making it usable for analysts and data scientists across the org. * Data Enablement for Analytics & Data Science: Partner closely with data scientists to prepare structured and unstructured data for modeling - including product usage, adoption, and customer behavior work. * Data Cleaning & Preparation: Own the transformation of raw, messy data into clean, well-structured datasets, including feature engineering support (e.g., creating dimensions, discretizing variables). * Product Telemetry & Streaming Data: Build and maintain pipelines for product telemetry, event, and streaming data sources as the team's needs grow. * Complex Systems Fluency: Get familiar with NinjaOne's distributed product architecture and the data it generates, and translate that complexity into clean, well-modeled datasets that bridge business questions with highly technical products. * Automation & Optimization: Automate and optimize data workflows to reduce manual processes and improve efficiency in data collection, storage, and processing. * Data Visualization: Build dashboards and reports in Tableau and Databricks to expose key data points and trends to business stakeholders. * Collaboration: Work closely with data science and analytics teammates and with stakeholders and teams across Product and Engineering to gather requirements and ensure clean, usable data flows to the right people. * Other duties as needed., The NinjaOne Unified IT Operations Platform delivers endpoint management, autonomous patching, backup, and remote access in a single console to improve efficiency, increase resilience, and reduce spend.
