Today, over 1,800 school districts use our software to manage their EL programs and drive key outcomes for students. We are a successful, rapidly growing business with a real mission—helping ELs achieve their highest aspirations.
We’re seeking a Senior Analytics Engineering Manager to lead the design, development, and scalability of our analytics data infrastructure.

About You:
- 6-8 years of experience in analytics engineering, data modeling, or data infrastructure roles, ideally in a modern cloud-based data stack.
- Deep expertise in dbt, SQL, Snowflake, and dimensional data modeling for business intelligence.
- Strong understanding of reporting requirements for cross-functional teams (e.g., Marketing, Sales, Success, Product) and how to structure data to support them.
- Familiarity with data integration tools like Fivetran.
- Experience partnering with stakeholders to scope analytics needs and build for reusability and scale.
- Passion for operationalizing insights in a mission-driven environment and ensuring that data is a strategic asset, not a bottleneck.
