Job Summary:

Toptal prides itself on being a data-driven organization. The primary objective of the Data Analytics Engineer is to help drive business impact and better decision making by laying the data foundation for a world-class analytics function. This role will be critical to fostering trust in our data and confidence in our decisions.

Our Data Analytics Engineers focus on creating a data environment that is conducive to analytics and business decision making. You will own and maintain the data transformation layer. This will require data governance (quality, accuracy, coverage, security), data modeling (structure, relationships, integrity), technical communication (data dictionaries, user training), quality control (code reviews, data validation), raw data analysis, and building AI data systems and pipelines. You will be the product owner for our data warehouse and will coordinate closely with our functional Business Analysts on one side, and Data Engineers on the other.

This role sits within the Business Analytics Center of Excellence and will ensure trustworthy data is available for all downstream data users. Positive relationships with both Data Engineers and Business Analysts will be key, but you must also think independently and bring your own point of view. To be successful in this role you must live and breathe SQL daily and be a critical thinker, problem solver and self-starter.

This role requires an AI-heavy workflow and skillset. We’ve transformed our codebase to be instrumented for agentic development and continue to build our internal AI tooling, and you will be part of this process. Fluency with using LLMs and agentic coding tools is a requirement of this role. The flip side of that is the part machines cannot do: understanding our business and metrics deeply, and making decisions on what matters and what doesn’t in terms of pushing the company’s business objectives forward.

This is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.
