Analytics Engineer 2 (New York)

Analytics Engineer 2

The Farmer's Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care. We're starting by radically improving the $90 billion pet food industry, replacing bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced, freshly-made dog food directly to customers' doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative, delightful and personalized experiences across all aspects of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future. To date, The Farmer's Dog has delivered over 1 billion meals nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. Join us as we continue to develop ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets.

What We Stand For and Where You'll Come In

The Farmer's Dog is seeking an Analytics Engineer 2 to join our growing team, with a focus on supporting Operations data! You will maximize your technical expertise and data analysis skills to develop, implement, and maintain data analytics solutions within the organization. This role will collaborate with cross-functional groups - including data scientists, data engineers, and business partners to gather requirements, design data models, build data pipelines, and deliver practical insights. Your role will be critical to ensure data integrity, optimize data workflows, and enable effective decision-making. If you have a genuine love for data, technology, problem-solving and want to improve how The Farmer's Dog makes strategic decisions at the company level, then this is the role for you! One Team : We don't think of ourselves as Acquisition Marketers, Engineers, Data Analysts, or Product Managers. Beyond denoting skill sets and areas of expertise, we don't think departments matter. We'd rather align ourselves to the goals we're working to achieve and make sure we have necessary subject matter expertise to drive meaningful impact. We strive to orient ourselves around customer problems TOGETHER getting the right people, with the right context, in the right rooms / Zooms to solve problems holistically.

We are skeptical about everything and precious about nothing : Ideas can and should come from anywhere, and we aren't tied to our own. We proactively source input. We talk to our customers and leads regularly and are quick to change course if we know there's a better or more impactful way to solve problems.

We consider the customer journey in all of our decisions : We know that no interaction exists in a silo and therefore understand how important every single one is. We ensure our strategy sets prospective and new customers up for success and drives long-term retention. We answer questions and address problems early and proactively. We understand the value of different channels, initiatives, and messages and know how to articulate impact and advocate for prioritization holistically.

We Execute For Impact : We don't subscribe to best practices or industry KPIs. We're uninterested in how we compare to benchmarks; instead we orient ourselves around being the best we can possibly be. Similarly, we don't subscribe to rigid or classical expectations of roles i.e. acquisition is hyper-focused on improving customer retention and experience.

We Are Focused and Work Without Assumption : We are not beholden to ideas. We have goals and believe everything beyond that is a series of hypotheses to validate. To that end, we seek to work in sequence and not in parallel. We constantly ask ourselves, what's the most important hypothesis I should be working on right now? How do I confirm or reject that hypothesis as fast as possible?. We rarely have timelines / deadlines and are constantly taking in new information and adjusting our priorities accordingly. We don't expect to be perfect the first time.
