We strongly encourage team members to be in the office 1-2 days per week, though there is no formal in-office requirement.

We build data models that uncover how our customers interact with our products, generate cashflows, and traverse our user experiences.

Our team values:

• Collaboration - We’re team players who excel at cross-functional partnership with product and engineering teams
• Impact - We transform raw data into strategic insights that drive business decisions
• Growth - We continuously refine our craft while supporting each other’s professional development

We’re growing our team and are looking for an Analytics Engineering Team Leader who is committed to building an equitable, healthy work environment where team members thrive. In this role, you’ll elevate our Analytics Engineering practice, mentor talented engineers, be a hands on contributor to our dbt and LookML code bases, and champion data-driven decision making across the organization. You’ll help shape how Rocket Money uses data to understand our customers and products while building a world‑class team.
