Your Mission:

Your mission, as a member of our Data Team, is to ensure that the quality of data we ingest and surface means we can deliver a cutting-edge and tailored experience to our customers. As a result of your time in this role we’ll be able to make important decisions, produce insightful commentary about the data we gather, and build data-centric services that delight our customers and encourage them to make the switch to electric vehicles faster than they otherwise would.

You will report to: Director of Engineering

Key Responsibilities:

• Use AI tooling and battle tested technologies to build and maintain pipelines to gather and process data from many sources
• Transform large datasets into clearer, performant datasets that can be leveraged by multiple tools across the company
• Collaborate with our Product team, Engineers, and other business units to provide the data foundation that powers our customer services
• Treat documentation and semantic context as a core deliverable, not an afterthought, ensuring each dataset is legible to everyone from a brand new analyst to an LLM powered agent
• Ensure consistent adherence to robust data practices by actively overseeing data quality, implementing checks and monitoring throughout development stages, and keeping documentation current while driving ongoing enhancements

Who You Are:

• You have 2 years’ experience working as part of a data team
• You are very comfortable in SQL. You can write complex queries involving window functions, Common Table Expressions (CTEs), and elaborate joins without AI tooling
• You know enough Python to perform complex analyses, including complex calculations on pandas dataframes
• You're comfortable with data warehousing fundamentals and data tooling (we use Azure, Snowflake, dbt, Dagster and Sigma) and are confident you can spin up fast on our specific tools
• The technology landscape (especially AI) moves fast, and you're energized by that: you comfortably explore and adopt new tools and techniques, learn iteratively, and continuously evolve systems to be more efficient and intelligent while keeping them safe and secure.
• You’re a go-getter who is willing to try new things, read documentation, break stuff, and figure out how to fix it
• You are energized and passionate about our mission to contribute to climate solutions by accelerating the electric vehicle transition
• Our core values (see below) are part of your inherent DNA, and you have many examples of when you demonstrated these values in your career

Salary: $90,000–$110,000 + 10% annual bonus

Location: This role is remote eligible. However, we have an office in Washington, DC. Our in-office team works from our Dupont Circle office Tuesday through Thursday. Remote work on Mondays and Fridays is voluntary, and employees are welcome to work from the office if they’d prefer.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

At Inspiration Mobility, you won’t just fill a role—you’ll help build the company. We’re a fast-growing, mission-driven team tackling real, complex challenges at the intersection of transportation, energy, technology, and finance. You’ll have the autonomy to take ownership, move quickly, and turn ideas into action, with leadership that values pragmatism, creativity, and momentum. We believe in clear accountability, low ego, and learning as we go—giving you the chance to shape how we operate, scale, and win, while doing work that has a meaningful impact on the future of mobility.
