We have a very ambitious product and scaling roadmap, there’s strong market interest in what we are doing, and it’s time to put the foot on the gas. If you get excited by the thought of working really hard on these kinds of problems with a high caliber team, then Actively AI is the right place for you.

About the Role We’re looking for our first dedicated data hire – a generalist who can tame messy data, architect durable pipelines, and turn raw signals into insights that matter. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and business strategy: you’ll not only make our internal data systems reliable and observable, but also help us prove ROI for customers, evaluate quality of our AI outputs, and drive key decision-making across the business.

If you’re excited by the challenge of building data foundations from scratch, while also shaping how data drives customer value and business impact, this is the role for you.

What You’ll Do

• Establish scalable data foundations by designing and implementing robust data models, pipelines, and processes to support product and company-wide analytics at Actively
• Develop metrics, frameworks, and dashboards to track business health, customer engagement, model performance, and value realization
• Analyze cross-customer trends and surface insights that inform strategy and product roadmap
• Shape the ROI narrative for prospects and customers
• Identify opportunities for growth and efficiency across the business, design experiments, and recommend improvements grounded in data
• Define the long-term vision for data at Actively: from tools/technologies that make our data stack best-in-class, to standards for data quality and observability, to how we measure success as a company

Who You Are

• Builder’s Mentality : Excited to be the first data hire – scrappy, able to set direction, but also roll up your sleeves and make progress independently.
• Hybrid Skillset : You’re as comfortable writing SQL and building pipelines as you are framing ROI stories for executives.
• Technical Rigor : Background in data analytics, with enough data engineering fluency to design schemas, own orchestration, and handle performance/scaling issues. Tools we use include SQL, DBT, and Python.
• Strategic Thinker : You don’t just report numbers – you help the team understand what they mean, where we’re winning, and where we need to change course.
• Customer-Obsessed : You care deeply about how data translates into customer value, and you’re energized by proving product impact.
• Communication : Ability to distill complex data into simple, compelling narratives for cross-functional partners and customers alike.
• Experience : Likely 4-7+ years across data analytics / data engineering roles, ideally with exposure to early-stage or high-growth SaaS environments.

Why Join It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a well-funded startup that’s scaling very fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. You'll also be in the trenches with an incredibly high caliber, low-ego group of people that are obsessed with building something great.
