Analytics Engineer

Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States; New York, NY, United States

Department: Card Tech Engineering

About the Team

We're looking for an Analytics Engineer to join the Sales & Finance Engineering team at Fanatics Collectibles. This team is the technical backbone for our Commercial, Sales, Strategy, and Finance organizations, and this role sits at the intersection of those business relationships and the data infrastructure that serves them via our internal applications.

You'll spend roughly equal time understanding what our stakeholders need and building the systems that deliver it. That means partnering directly with product managers, finance analysts, and sales ops leaders to translate fuzzy business questions into well-defined data products and then owning the pipeline, transformation, and visualization work that makes those products real.

This isn't a pure platform engineering role or a pure analytics role. We're looking for someone who is comfortable moving between engineering, data and product thinking, curious enough to learn what they don't know, and confident enough to push back when requirements don't make sense yet.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain data pipelines that bring data from source systems into Snowflake, with a focus on reliability, observability, and maintainability
• Implement and manage orchestration flows using Airflow or Dagster
• Build transformation layers using dbt, including data modeling, testing, and documentation standards
• Design and maintain Sigma dashboards that serve as the primary reporting surface for our business stakeholders
• Ensure data quality and consistency across reporting surfaces, establishing validation practices and source-of-truth definitions
• Partner with Commercial, Sales, Strategy, and Finance stakeholders, product manager and engineering leads to understand data and reporting needs, surface gaps, and build the tools necessary to support
• Translate business requirements into clear data specs and prioritized work, often without a fully formed brief to start from
• Communicate proactively with partners explaining tradeoffs, setting expectations, and making complex data concepts accessible
• Tag into broader engineering work on the Sales & Finance team as needed this could mean contributing to data-oriented product features, reviewing code, or supporting integrations that touch our data layer

What You'll Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in a analytics engineering, data engineering or software engineering, or a hybrid (preferred)
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake. SQL and Python
• Strong working knowledge of dbt for transformation, testing, and documentation
• Experience building and managing pipeline orchestration with Airflow or Dagster
• Experience building dashboards and data visualizations, ideally with Sigma or a comparable BI tool
• Exposure to engineering work beyond data, APIs, backend services, or product feature development
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with business stakeholders, not just receiving tickets, but helping shape what gets built and why
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable in rooms with both engineers and executives
• A genuine curiosity and willingness to stretch, this role will evolve and we want someone who evolves with it

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with AWS data services (Glue, S3, Firehose, Kinesis)
• Experience in a commerce, collectibles, or marketplace environment
• Experience in an environment where you had to define your own scope and priorities

Why This Role

You'll have real relationships with the business leaders whose decisions depend on the work you do, and you'll have the latitude to shape how data is used across Sales and Finance at Fanatics Collectibles.
