Description

WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE :

Working at TechSmith gives you a chance to hone your skills in an open, collaborative, and innovative environment where you can be excited to come into work every single day.

We are a technological melting pot, composed of nearly 300 uniquely skilled human beings that will continue to stretch your comfort zone - but in a good way. And speaking of comfort, who doesn't love to show up to work in jeans, eat free snacks, and drink free pop?

With great products and maybe even better people behind them, we are always looking for passionate, fun, and hardworking individuals who truly enjoy coming to work and doing what they love. Sounds like you? We'd love to chat.

POSITION OVERVIEW :

You are at the beginning of your career in data engineering and analytics. You'll be joining a small, focused team where you'll work directly with your manager to learn the tools, systems, and business context that drive TechSmith's data initiatives. With close guidance, you'll grow into a reliable contributor who can take ownership of impactful projects.

Your onboarding will include broad exposure to our tech stack, data sources, and business functions, while also going deep into at least one business area to build subject matter expertise. Over time, you'll rotate through other domains, expanding your technical skills and developing a strong understanding of how data informs decisions across the company.

Because of the team's size and scope, you'll have the opportunity to work directly with senior leadership, helping shape strategic decisions through thoughtful analysis and data-driven insights. You'll be encouraged to ask questions, seek feedback, and learn from mistakes as you grow into a trusted partner and expert in multiple areas of the business.

Use cloud-based tools like Azure Data Factory and Fabric Data Pipelines to create and manage ETL workflows.

  • Organize and maintain data in Lakehouses and databases to support analytics and reporting.

  • End-to-end project ownership
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across the company to understand their challenges, co-develop solutions, estimate effort, and implement them. You must actively seek input to find the best long-term solutions, demonstrating TechSmith's Inclusive value.

  • As a small team, it's essential to deliver high-quality work quickly, maintaining high standards while operating at a fast pace. This is done in the spirit of "Under-estimate, and Over-deliver" as we live out TechSmith's Integrity value, putting our customers first.
  • Continuously improve skills and systems
  • Develop familiarity with the full TechSmith data stack and become proficient in multiple areas over time, exhibiting TechSmith's Accountability value.

  • Use AI tools to boost efficiency while maintaining deep understanding of data and algorithms.
  • Manage and reduce SaaS and cloud compute costs through smarter architecture and usage.

  • Apply data privacy and security regulations effectively, while adhering to internal policies.
  • Ensure code quality and process reliability
