About the role
- We're hiring our first dedicated Data Engineer inside Strategic Finance, and the job is simple to state and hard to do well: make everyone at Whop smarter with the insights hidden in our data, and change how the company makes decisions.
- Whop generates an enormous amount of data - every payment, dispute, refund and ad campaign tells us something about the business.
- Most of it isn't yet answering directly the questions we are actually asking.
Responsibilities
- Ship Whop financial product. Write production code and build features on Whop Financial Reports so it's reliable enough to close the books on and useful to every merchant.
- Build and own the ingestion pipelines. Ingest and backfill payment-processor settlement data into the ledger, at scale and across currencies and geographies, so reported financials are complete and accurate always.
- Own the financial semantic layer. Define and standardize metric logic (GMV/GTV, revenue, take rate, contribution margin, COGS/GP per business, LTV/CAC, retention/cohorts, chargeback and dispute rates) so one metric means one thing across the organization.
- Make finance and the business self-serve. Partner with leadership to ship intuitive, trustworthy Metabase dashboards and data models so every stakeholder can answer their own questions with confidence - and stop pinging you for a number.
- Set standards. Establish data modeling conventions, testing, documentation, and access controls, and own data quality and lineage across the stack.
- Bias for action: you ship usable, iterative data models that deliver value now over waiting on the perfect architecture.
- A strong communicator comfortable with ambiguity, building trust across Finance, Product, GTM and Exec partners.
Nice to have
- Deep expertise in SQL and Python, plus a modern transformation and warehouse stack (dbt + BigQuery preferred
