Job Description
For millions of teams working in dozens of industries, day-to-day business gets done on the phone. So why — despite the huge leaps we've taken in design and usability — does most business phone software still look, feel, and act like it was born in the 90s? OpenPhone is changing that.
We’re a new type of business phone with a mission to help people communicate better and be more productive.
We’re backed by Y Combinator and some of the best venture firms around including Tiger Global, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and others. We take pride in providing an exceptional customer experience and a product people love, which is why we’re excited that our customers have rated us the #1 VoIP Provider on G2.
OpenPhone is the modern, sophisticated answer to the clunky, outdated phone systems that have been slowing down businesses for years. With thousands of happy customers and several rounds of funding in just five years, it's safe to say we're onto something big.
About the Role
As a Staff Analytics Engineer, you will be an early member of the Data & Analytics team, building the foundation to scale analytics across our organization. You will collaborate with key stakeholders in Product, GTM, Finance, Support and other areas to build scalable solutions to transform data into key metrics, reporting, and insights. You will be responsible for ensuring teams have access to reliable, accurate metrics that can scale with our company’s growth. You will also lead your own projects to enable self-serve insights to help teams make data-driven decisions.
Some of the things you’ll do:
- Translate stakeholder needs into scalable data models and reporting requirements
- Define, build, and manage key data pipelines in dbt that transform raw logs into canonical datasets
- Establish and uphold high data integrity standards and SLAs to ensure timely, accurate delivery
- Develop insightful and reliable dashboards to track the performance of core metrics that will deliver insights to the whole company
- Build foundational data products and tools that empower teams to self-serve and explore data independently
- Influence the future roadmap of cross functional teams from a data systems perspective
- Become an expert in our organization’s data models and the company's data architecture
About you:
- 8+ years of experience as an Analytics Engineer or similar Data Science & Analytics roles.
- A passion for OpenPhone’s mission to give small businesses modern, intuitive tools to connect with customers quickly, build trust, and create lasting relationships
- Expertise in building multi-step ETL jobs through tooling like dbt; proficiency with workflow management platforms like Airflow and version control management tools through GitHub.
- Expertise in SQL and Python to transform data into accurate, clean data models
- Experience designing dashboards and visualizations in tools like Hex, empowering multiple teams with actionable insights
- A bias for action and urgency, not letting perfect be the enemy of the effective.
- A “full-stack mindset”, not hesitating to do what it takes to solve a problem end-to-end, even if it requires going outside the original job description.
- Experience building an Analytics Engineering (or similar) function at start-ups.
- A strong disposition to thrive in ambiguity, taking initiative to create clarity and forward progress.
- Bonus: familiarity with AWS (EC2, S3) and modern data stack best practices

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
