The Travel Product org is seeking a versatile Data Engineer to join our Product Strategy and Analysis team. In this hybrid role, you will play a critical part in shaping our analytics infrastructure and capabilities. You’ll work closely with product managers, engineers, and operations teams to design and build analytics-ready data models, automate data workflows, and uncover impactful insights that drive our product and operational decisions.

Your work will span the full data lifecycle—developing and optimizing data models, building engaging dashboards, and analyzing our platform’s performance and user behavior. You will also leverage our in-house AI platform to develop and improve data-driven prompts and automations that enhance self-service analytics.

This is a hands-on role and ideal for someone who thrives with both data solutions and translating data into actionable insights. If you enjoy building high-quality data assets, partnering cross-functionally, and making an immediate impact on product strategy, we’d love to meet you!

What You’ll Do:

  • Design, build, and maintain robust data models, tables, and views in our analytics data warehouse (using dbt/Snowflake) to support product and operational analytics.
  • Develop and automate analytics-layer data pipelines and ensure data quality with appropriate testing and monitoring.
  • Partner with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to understand requirements, translate business needs into data solutions, and help define and track key metrics.
  • Deliver thoughtful analyses on large, complex datasets to uncover actionable insights for product and operations improvement.
  • Develop and maintain dashboards and reports in Thoughtspot to monitor KPIs, product usage, and operational performance.
  • Consolidate and harmonize data across different business units and acquisitions, ensuring consistent and reliable data definitions for reporting.
  • Work directly with our in-house AI platform, supporting or developing new tools to boost analytics and automation capabilities.
  • Contribute to documentation and training for business users to support self-service access to data tools and reporting.
  • Identify and implement opportunities to streamline and automate analytics workflows and processes in partnership with the broader team.
  • Primarily work on-site 3-4 days per week as part of our collaborative Product Strategy and Analysis team.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2-3+ years of relevant experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or advanced data analytics roles, ideally supporting product or operational analytics.
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL and experience with data modeling, dbt, and cloud data warehouses (Snowflake preferred).
  • Experience developing analytics-layer data pipelines, tables, and views, and ensuring data quality for reporting and analysis.
  • Hands-on experience with BI/data visualization tools (Thoughtspot preferred), including dashboard/report development and self-service enablement.
  • Experience analyzing complex, high-volume datasets and delivering clear, actionable insights.
  • Hands-on experience with Python for data analysis and/or to interact with platforms or AI tools; prompt/AI development is a plus.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical information to cross-functional partners.
  • Collaborative mindset and ability to thrive within a hybrid team, working on-site 3-4 days per week.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience experimentation frameworks, or statistical analysis (e.g., regression, significance testing).
  • Experience working in a product-centric team or fast-paced environment.
  • Stakeholder management experience, especially with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams.
  • Familiarity with engineering best practices (versioning, testing, monitoring)

ABOUT TRIPACTIONS

TripActions is the fastest-growing corporate travel platform disrupting a $1.5T industry and shaping the future of business travel.

TripActions is a story of inspiration born of frustration. Road warriors and co-founders Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig believed that companies deserved a travel solution that takes the pain out of work trips –– so that their travelers can focus on being productive and meeting in-person, not wasting valuable time booking travel. So in 2015, they created TripActions. Since then, we’ve been a mission to power the face-to-face, in-person connections that move people, ideas and businesses forward.

TripActions’ platform offers a vast selection of inventory that travelers can choose from, a personalized, intuitive user interface driven by machine learning, and 24/7 proactive real human, customer support. Companies enjoy complete travel program visibility, over 30% cost savings on average and seamless integrations with their HR and expense systems.

Globally, TripActions has grown to over 600 employees across 7 offices in 4 countries. We support over 1,500 customers, with innovative brands like Lyft, Dropbox, Sara Lee Frozen Bakery, Allbirds, Robinhood and the ACLU relying on TripActions for their business travel needs. As one of Silicon Valley’s newest “unicorns”, TripActions has a valuation north of $1B and a total of $232M in funding. We’ve recently received $154M in our Series C funding round –– led by new investor Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from repeat investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, Zeev Ventures and SGVC.

TripActions was recently recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies for 2019, #12 in LinkedIn’s Top Startups 2018 and #3 in the U.S. for Happiest Employees by Comparably.

We’re redefining what it means to travel for work. Come help us build the future of business travel.
