• Leverage your solid understanding of relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL, to extract, analyze, and interpret data.
• Write complex SQL queries to answer critical product and marketing questions, informing growth strategies and measuring experiment success.
• Bring a growth mindset and an experimental approach to engineering, actively proposing and implementing A/B tests and other optimization strategies.
• Maintain a keen eye for user experience (UX) and conversion rate optimization (CRO), ensuring a seamless and effective user journey.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including product, marketing, and design, to identify and prioritize growth opportunities.
• Contribute to a service-oriented architecture, building scalable and maintainable solutions.
