(Sr.) Analytics Engineer

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.

By catering to both consumers and enterprises, we’re powering a new, open entertainment ecosystem where fans have effortless access to experiences, and teams, venues, and shows have seamless access to their audiences. Because everyone should expect more from ticketing.

We are looking for Analytics Engineers with varying levels of experience to join SeatGeek’s Data team in New York City. You will join a high-performing team that is the go-to partner for our business’s data production and insights generation needs. You will play a critical role in storing, cataloging, modeling, and processing our data, enabling us to scale efficiently this year and beyond. You will build data models and dashboards, maintain key data pipelines and ETLs, and ingest data from multiple sources to produce clean, well-documented, analysis-friendly datasets. You will be an early hire on this team and will be given the opportunity to contribute to the vision for Analytics Engineering at SeatGeek. 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 the live entertainment market comes back, the future is up for grabs, 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 unreasonable effectiveness of 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.
