Key skills for this role
We created Upside to transform brick-and-mortar commerce. Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail—profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality—to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers. We’ve helped millions of users earn 2 to 3 times more cashback than any other product, and hundreds of thousands of brick-and-mortar businesses earn measurable profit. Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year, and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners, the consumers they serve, and important sustainability initiatives.
Five million people use Upside to earn cash back on gas, groceries, and dining. The offers they see, the lifecycle messages they get, and the partner launches behind both all run on data models. You'll own a set of those. Not just building them. Deciding how they should be shaped, testing them, monitoring them, and documenting them well enough that someone else can safely build on your work. You'll sit close to Marketing, Data, and MarTech, so a lot of the job is turning a messy question into something concrete and trustworthy. Team of six. Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, AWS.
Own a scoped domain of dbt models: design, build, test, ship, and monitor them, with a clear point of view on how they should be structured
Turn ambiguous asks from Marketing and Product into scoped work, and talk openly about tradeoffs when the ask and the timeline don't fit together
Write the design doc for the features you own and break the work into pieces teammates can pick up
Add monitoring and alerting to your models so your team catches problems before stakeholders do
Take your turn on our support rotation, debug what breaks, and prevent the repeat
Skip the repetitive application forms
