We’re hiring a Senior Data Analyst, Reconciliation to help build the data foundation behind how Dave tracks, validates, and understands money movement across our financial ecosystem.

Reconciliation sits at the center of trustworthy financial infrastructure. Every transaction moving through Dave’s internal systems, banking partners, ACH networks, and payment processors needs to be accounted for — and when something doesn’t match, we need to understand why. In this role, you’ll design the data models, pipelines, matching logic, and monitoring that make reconciliation more accurate, scalable, and easier to operate.

You’ll work across Engineering, Finance, Accounting, and Reconciliation Operations to turn ambiguous financial‑data problems into durable systems. Not everything is fully defined today, which means you’ll have meaningful influence over how this capability evolves.

• Build reliable pipelines and dbt models that reconcile transactions across internal ledgers, operational systems, banking partners, ACH networks, and payment processors.
• Develop matching and anomaly‑detection logic for timing differences, partial matches, delayed transactions, and true reconciliation breaks.
• Improve exception handling by surfacing unmatched or anomalous records with the context teams need to investigate and resolve them quickly.
• Own core reconciliation data definitions, documentation, lineage, testing, and quality standards so downstream teams can trust and use the data confidently.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual reconciliation workflows through scalable data products, alerting, and self‑serve tools.
• Explore practical uses of AI and machine learning, including probabilistic matching, anomaly detection, and AI‑assisted classification or triage.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Finance, Accounting, and Operations to improve both the underlying systems and the processes built around them.

Reliable reconciliation supports accurate financial reporting, smoother operations, and stronger controls across Dave. The systems you build will help teams identify issues earlier, reduce manual work, and maintain confidence in the financial data behind our products.

• Advanced SQL and strong experience with dbt or similar data‑transformation frameworks.
• Strong Python skills for data modeling, data quality, automation, or pipeline development.
• Experience building and maintaining reliable data pipelines and data models at scale.
• Experience independently leading ambiguous projects from problem definition through implementation.
