About the role

Yahoo serves as a trusted guide for hundreds of millions of people globally, helping them achieve their goals online through our portfolio of iconic products.
This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who has opinions on how to raise the bar for how an organization does analytics engineering, not just administering an existing one.
While most roles don't require regular office attendance, you may occasionally be asked to attend in-person events or team sessions.

Own the architecture of our analytics stack's modeling and orchestration layers, setting technical direction for how raw and intermediate data become trusted, consumer-ready data products.
Design and build the foundational, well-tested data pipelines and establish the standards, patterns, and tooling the broader team will adopt.
Partner with and influence the central data team, analysts, product managers, and leadership to define the metrics, dimensions, and data contracts the business depends on, and to deliver data products that meet their needs.
Drive the migration of business logic out of dashboards into maintainable, version-controlled pipelines, eliminating inconsistency and sprawl.
Build datasets that support experimentation and growth analysis as the platform matures.
Optimize our cloud data warehouse for performance and cost at scale.
10+ years of software/data engineering experience, with a strong emphasis on system design, data architecture, and technical leadership.

Extensive hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses (BigQuery or equivalent) and pipeline orchestration in production.
Deep, hands-on experience with event/analytics data (e.g., GA4) and experimentation platforms, including how experiment assignment and exposure data flow into analytics.
Proficiency in Python for pipeline tooling and automation
Experience with advanced AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc) is highly desirable.
