• You can think strategically about data architecture and make decisions that balance immediate needs with long-term platform goals

Our Team 

Steno’s Data team is a small but mighty, highly reliable, and constantly innovative group. We work hand-in-hand with Engineering, Product, and individual business units to execute new ideas and solutions.

We operate under a hub-and-spoke analytics organization structure, consisting of a core Data team that is responsible for the technical heavy lifting and data modeling, and Analytics Partners that consist of Data Analysts and functional experts throughout the company. We strive for a data driven culture where the individual business teams are empowered to query and analyze their own data, which can only happen if there is a strong foundation for them to query on.
