Requirements
• 5+ years experience in data engineering within a modern cloud data stack

• Strong understanding of:
  1. eCommerce metrics (AOV, LTV, churn, CAC, retention)
  2. Marketing attribution
  3. Subscription data structures
• Experience integrating and modeling data from (not exactly similar software would work) Klaviyo, Loop or similar subscription platforms, Shopify 3PL systems
• Experience implementing data quality checks and validation pipelines

What We Do

Anatta provides product teams for fast-growing, sustainable DTC brands that don’t take shortcuts. We’re in the business of exponential growth, helping $25M brands scale over $100M. In 2020, Anatta clients grew by 287%. That’s 9x industry average. We’ve worked with brands like Rothy’s, Athletic Greens, Four Sigmatic, Mack Weldon, Molekule, CARIUMA, Berkey Filters — and a lot more. Today, opportunities for rapid eCommerce growth abound. But many DTCs are stuck under a huge backlog of work, making it difficult to build the kind of customer experience that will capture growth. Time for something new. With Anatta, build a flexible product team with dedicated UX, UI, or developer resources — backed by 10 years of data-driven results and Anatta executives at the helm as your thought partners. Shift, expand, or contract your resources with 30 days’ notice at any time. Specializations include UX, UI, application engineering, performance optimization, operation automation, replatform, headless eCommerce, and progressive web apps (PWAs). Move faster. Increase conversions. Revolutionize retention. Let’s map your rapid growth strategy.
