Senior Analytics Engineer

Rain makes the next generation of payments possible across the globe. We’re a lean and mighty team of passionate builders and veteran founders. Our infrastructure makes stablecoins usable in the real-world by powering card transactions, cross-border payments, B2B purchases, remittances, and more. We partner with fintechs, neobanks, and institutions to help them launch solutions that are global, inclusive, and efficient. You will have the opportunity to deliver massive impact at a hypergrowth company that is funded by some of the top investors in fintech, crypto, and SaaS, including Sapphire Ventures, Norwest, Galaxy Ventures, Lightspeed, Khosla, and several more. If you’re curious, bold, and excited to help shape a borderless financial future, we’d love to talk.

We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.

We’re looking for our first dedicated Analytics Engineer – a technical builder who can consolidate fragmented data sources, model them cleanly, and turn raw information into trusted, reusable datasets and metrics that power decisions across the company. As Rain scales from hundreds to thousands of customers, we need someone who can make our data accessible, reliable, and self-serve for Product, BD, Customer Success, Compliance, and the Executive teams.

Reporting to the Head of Business Operations, this role sits at the intersection of data engineering and analytics. You’ll own Rain’s core data models and analytics layer, partnering with teams across the company to answer critical questions:

• How are customers using our infrastructure across products and geos?

• Where are our exposures by country, partner, and use case?

• Which behaviors predict retention, revenue expansion, and risk?

• How are we tracking against our OKRs and company metrics?

You’ll design the models, metrics, and dashboards that help us understand our business, prove value to customers and make faster, smarter decisions.

• Partner with stakeholders across the business to understand their data needs and translate them into clear modeling and reporting requirements

• Design, build, and maintain core data models (e.g., customer, account, transaction, product usage) using tools like dbt to transform raw logs into canonical, analytics-ready datasets

• Define and maintain company-wide metrics for business health, customer engagement, product usage, transaction volumes, payment success rates, and other mission-critical KPIs

• Develop dashboards and self-serve analytics layers that make it simple for non-technical teams to explore data, track performance, and answer their own questions

• Analyze cross-customer and cross-product trends to surface insights that inform product roadmap, go-to-market strategy, and operational improvements

• Establish and enforce data quality standards, testing, documentation, and governance so teams can trust the numbers as we scale

• Continuously improve Rain’s analytics stack by evaluating new tools, refining models, and raising the bar on performance, reliability, and usability

• Builder's mentality – Energized by being an early analytics hire at a fast-growing fintech; comfortable owning the full lifecycle from ingestion and modeling to metrics and dashboards

• Modeling & SQL expert – Strong analytics skills with deep proficiency in SQL and experience building dimensional/semantic models that are easy for others to use

• Modern data stack fluent – Hands-on experience with analytics tooling (e.g., dbt, modern ELT tools, Airflow orchestration frameworks) and cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift)

• Business-minded – You don’t just ship tables and charts—you partner with teams to clarify the questions that matter, design the right metrics, and translate data into strategic recommendations

• Clear communicator – Able to distill complex data concepts into simple, compelling stories and artifacts for executives, GTM leaders, and customers

• Customer-focused – Motivated by helping Rain prove and quantify value to enterprise clients and giving customer-facing teams the data they need to win

• Experienced – 5–7+ years in analytics engineering, data analytics, or data engineering roles, ideally at early-stage or high-growth B2B SaaS, fintech, or payments companies

• Experience as a founding or early analytics engineer, building an analytics foundation and self-serve culture from 0→1

• Previous experience at a crypto, Web3, or blockchain company

• Background working with payments data, card programs, transaction processing, or other financial services infrastructure

• Experience in regulated industries (fintech, regtech, compliance) with familiarity around security, data governance, and audit requirements

• Unlimited time off 🌴 Unlimited vacation can be daunting, so we require Rainmakers to take at least 10 days off.

• Flexible working ☕ We support a flexible workplace. If you feel comfortable at home, please work from home. If you’d like to work with others in an office, feel free to come in. We want everyone to be able to work in the environment in which they are their most confident and productive selves. New Rainmakers will receive a stipend to create a comfortable home environment.

• Easy to access benefits 🧠For US Rainmakers, we offer comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents, as well as a 100% company subsidized life insurance plan.

• Retirement goals💡Plan for the future with confidence. We offer a 401(k) with a 4% company match.

• Equity plan 📦 We offer every Rainmaker an equity option plan so we can all benefit from our success.

• Rain Cards 🌧️ We want Rainmakers to be knowledgeable about our core products and services. To support this mission, we issue a card for our team to use for testing.
