Warby Parker is searching for a *Senior Data Modeler/Data Warehouse

our employees’ insatiable hankering for data and serve our customers even
better. In this role, you’ll act as the technical lead of our new,
stakeholder-facing Business Intelligence team to build valuable data models
that capture the core of our rapidly changing business. You’ll work toward
bridging any gaps of understanding between departments that serve very
different functions, yet could benefit from shared knowledge in their
decision-making. Collaborating with your team’s Product Manager, as well as
our Data Platform and Data Science teams, you’ll drive the development and
implementation of data models (including automated tests) that are
flexible, easy to maintain, and clearly documented. Are you ready to open
up new avenues for analysis across Warby Parker? Read on!

*What you’ll do:*

   - Assist in facilitating data modeling workshops with our Product
   Manager, Business Intelligence
   - Hire, mentor, and oversee Data Modeling and Business Intelligence
   Engineers
   - Collaboratively design data models that capture company-wide business
   processes and make them amenable to analysis
   - Work with a slew of stakeholders, including our CX, Supply Chain,
   Finance, Retail, and Social Innovation teams
   - Partner with our Product Manager, Business Intelligence to create a
   process for keeping the company-wide data model up to date with
   fast-changing technology and our evolving business objectives
   - Write transformation jobs to turn normalized data into star schema and
   dimensional models, consistent with the Kimball style of building a data
   warehouse
   - Work closely with our Data Platform team to prioritize what analysis
   should be loaded and which tools best serve our needs
   - Assist in writing, editing, and maintaining our data documentation
   - Work with our Data Platform and Data Science teams to determine a
   company-wide data strategy

*Who you are:*

   - Backed by 5+ years of experience designing and implementing data
   models, including 2+ years designing and implementing star schema and
   dimensional models
   - Highly detail-oriented and proactive—you’d be able to detect hidden
   sharp corners as we design our company-wide data model
   - Well-versed in SQL
   - An enthusiastic team player who can work with non-technical
   stakeholders to collaboratively design data models
   - An excellent communicator with experience writing in a nuanced way
   about technical topics
   - Comfortable working in an Agile environment and delivering incremental
   results on a regular basis (instead of in months-long design processes)
   - Accustomed to collaborating with software engineers in a modern
   workflow (for version control, code review, testing, etc.)

*What you’ll learn:*

   - The nitty-gritty of how Warby Parker is changing the optical, fashion,
   and retail industries
   - How we operate a stakeholder-driven business and how we serve the
   needs of our customers, employees, community, and environment as we scale
   - A lot (or a lot more) about bringing dimensional modeling, data
   warehousing, data engineering, and analytics to a fast-growth company

*Extra credit (but by no means required!):*

   - Experience deploying an Agile Data Warehouse methodology (such as
   BEAM✲)
   - Experience working with dimensional or star schema models as an analyst
   - Exposure to ELT workflows in dbt on a cloud data warehouse such as
   Snowflake, Redshift, and BigQuery

   tools (Looker, Tableau, Sisense, and so on)
   - Any teaching experience

*About us:*

Warby Parker was founded in 2010 with a lofty objective: to offer designer
eyewear at a revolutionary price while leading the way for socially
conscious businesses. By circumventing traditional channels and designing
our frames in house, we’re able to offer insanely high-quality eyewear at
decidedly non-insane prices (i.e., from $95 with prescription lenses—a
fraction of the going price!).

In the last eight years, we’ve grown to over 60 retail locations in the
U.S. and Canada, opened our first optical lab in upstate New York, and
launched two of our own iOS apps. And for three years running, Fast Company
has named us one of the world’s most innovative companies.

We also hold ourselves to the highest standards of social and environmental
responsibility. This means lots of different things, like operating
carbon-neutrally and distributing a pair of glasses to someone in need for
every pair we sell. (We’re big believers that businesses can scale and be
profitable while doing good in the world.)

Of course, all work and no play makes an extremely dull office, and no one
likes an extremely dull office. (We sure don’t.) As an employee at Warby
Parker, you can look forward to company outings, guest speakers,
volunteering opportunities, and other brain- (and/or taste-bud-)
stimulating activities. It also doesn’t hurt that our team is just great
company.



*Some benefits and perks of working at Warby Parker:*

   - Health, vision, and dental insurance
   - Flexible “My Time” vacation policy
   - Retirement savings plan with a company match
   - Parental leave (non-birthing parents included)
   - Cell phone plan reimbursement
   - A health-and-wellness stipend
   - Free eyewear (plus discounts for friends and family)
   - And more (just ask!)
