What will you do?

• Fully own critical portions of the Content Production data model.  Collaborate with stakeholders to understand needs, model tables using data warehouse best practices, and develop data pipelines to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality data.

• Digitiza established production processes that have been built in a bespoke way to meet the more widely used team practices.

• Continually acquire new data sources to develop an increasingly rich dataset that characterizes content.

About you

• Lazy in a productive way (find tedious work boring and would rather automate it).

• You are not bothered by ambiguity, finding patterns in the most complex of environments and bringing order into chaos gives you joy.

• Thrive in a fast-paced environment, and see yourself as a partner with the business with the shared goal of moving the business forward.

• Have strong beliefs that are weakly held: you can deliberate, and hear, all sides of a discussion and adapt to new perspectives that emerge from it.

• Sharp communicator who can break down and explain complex data problems in clear and concise language. 

• Create code that is understandable, simple, and clean, and take pride in its beauty.

• Love freedom and hate being micromanaged. Given context, you're capable of self-direction.

• Deep expertise in data modeling and batch or streaming Spark/Trino data pipeline authoring with the highest regard for data quality.

• Knowledgeable or passionate to learn more about the film industry, particularly the visual effects process.
