Pipe is building cutting edge embedded financial solutions to help small businesses and software companies build something bigger. We’re a remote-first team of problem solvers who build and ship at high velocity. We’re customer obsessed and leave our egos at the door. If this sounds fun, join us!

Role

We are hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to join our Risk team. This role will focus heavily on data modeling to support our risk business analysts, who are responsible for using dashboards to regularly analyze and report on credit risk and underwriting to the business. You will design and develop data models using SQLMesh to support risk business analysts, create reports, construct dashboards, evaluate key metrics, and perform ad hoc analysis using SQL or Python.
