Tech Lead, Analytics Engineering

SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.

We are looking for an Analytics Engineering Tech Lead to join SeatGeek’s Analytics team. Analytics is the go-to partner for our business’s needs around data management and insight generation. As Tech Lead, you will own the strategic vision for our data warehouse and be responsible for working cross-functionally to bring that vision to life. You will define long-term projects aimed at improving warehouse performance and utility, oversee their execution from start to finish, and ensure they align with business objectives while cultivating a collaborative team environment. You will work with managers to improve existing processes aimed at keeping our technical bar high. Above all, your work will drive us toward our mission of making SeatGeek the top destination for live event goers by putting data at the heart of everything we do.

SeatGeek's data warehouse has been at the core of our Data team for the better part of a decade, and as early adopters of Redshift, Looker, and dbt, our business intelligence stack is technically mature and easy to work with. As SeatGeek continues its growth, leaders and operators across the business will need clean, actionable metrics and feedback loops to make company-defining decisions. If you're somebody who knows that you optimize what you measure, if you believe in the power of good data, if you get delight from helping your coworkers do their jobs better, and if you have strong opinions on how data can make that happen, then you're the right person to take our solid foundation and build to the stars.
