What are we looking for?

At CobbleWeb we do not simply churn out cookie-cutter products. Our clients rely on us to turn their online marketplace ideas into sustainable businesses. Thats why we offer them a custom user-focused approach that increases their opportunities for success substantially.

Based on the Lean Startup Method (used by Google, Airbnb, Uber and Amazon) we follow a BUILD MEASURE LEARN process to help our clients establish product-market fit, gain competitive advantages, and grow their businesses.

The golden thread linking each step in our process isdata. Without it, we cannot help our clients make informed decisions about their target audience, marketing channels, product features and much more.

Thats where you come in. We are looking for an experiencedData Engineerwho will help us create and manage appropriate metrics models for our clients marketplace projects. That includes collaborating with our Business Analyst to identify the right metrics for each project and then collecting, managing, and converting raw data into useful information.

Our ideal candidate understands that the metrics models that we build during the Discovery phase of each project go beyond determining what users are doing; they aim to seek the fundamental reason why things exist at all. Your mission is to help our clients discover their business in a way that will constantly evolve their thinking and their products to realise their ultimate vision.

Your metrics models will help our growth hacking efforts, finding the best way to acquire, activate, retain and convert our clients user bases. Using the Pirates Metrics Model to measure and analyse our clients website or mobile apps, to help us adjust whatever is necessary to improve performance. You are comfortable building and managing data pipelines for technical metrics (track if the product is working as expected and quickly identify technical problems), as well as UX/UI metrics that help us increase audience engagement.

Current projects that you can expect to work on includeNestify, a fast-growing property management platform. We have been asked to implement performance tracking for their employees (via admin and employee dashboards) and identify new business opportunities (cities to focus on, optimal pricing, etc.)

You will also help us build CobbleWebs internal communication system and knowledge base known as Umy. This set of internal tools will support our globally distributed company structure.

What you will be doing

• Design, deliver and continuously test data pipelines that will aggregate data into reports.
• Collaborate with the team to create innovative proofs-of-concept, pilot projects, minimum viable products, and business cases.
• Transform data into valuable insights that inform business decisions, making use of our internal data platforms and applying appropriate analytical techniques.
• Help us to understand our users and serve them better through data, conversations, and active research to hear from them directly.
• Engineer reliable data pipelines for sourcing, processing, distributing, and storing data in different ways, using data platform infrastructure effectively.
• Produce and automate delivery of key metrics and KPIs to the business. In some cases, this will mean simply making data available and in others it will constitute developing full reports for end users.
• Monitor usage of data platforms and work with clients to deprecate reports and data sets that are not needed and create a continuous improvement model for the data.
• Work with clients to understand data issues, tracing back data lineage and helping the business put appropriate data cleansing and quality processes in place.
• Work with stakeholders to define and establish data quality rules, definitions and strategies in line with business strategies and goals.
• Monitor and set standards for data quality.
