- Deliver high-impact analyses and data models that help R&D Engineering ship faster, operate reliably, and make better product decisions.
- Be a pragmatic analytics partner: iterate quickly, document clearly, and bias toward action.
- Own the data maintenance and reliability of key R&D internal Pigment apps and reporting (FinOps, Engineering Metrics, AI usage/impact), including definitions and refresh cadence.
- Be accountable for R&D analytics models (documentation, maintenance, and evolution), from lightweight curated datasets to scalable handoff with central Data when needed.
- Define best practices for structuring and scaling R&D apps, including criteria for when to create a new app vs extend an existing one, and how to manage shared reference data.
- Implement automated quality checks and lightweight data contracts to ensure trusted reporting for leadership and teams.
- Enable self-serve by producing ready-to-use prompt templates and playbooks aligned to R&D’s most common questions.
- Prepare leadership decision boards and recurring reporting for staffing, reporting, and hiring discussions.
- Support ad hoc, small-scope initiatives (SaaS reviews, offsite preparation), R&D All Hands, and R&D process automation efforts (e.g., onboarding access, timesheets).
A typical first project would be to review and improve the R&D Reporting model (grain, definitions, consistency, and usability for stakeholders). Other needs involve insight collection about engineers’ work in connection to AI and the preparation of tested, curated boards for financial decision-making.
What success looks like- Week 1–2: Understand R&D Engineering workflows, existing data sources, and current reporting gaps
- Month 1: Write an implementation proposal to re-model R&D analytics validated with modeling experts
- Months 2-3: Engineering teams and Leadership trust the R&D analytics model and leverage it for reporting systematically, thanks to prioritized coverage of R&D use cases, scheduled data routines, and automated checks
This is not exhaustive, as other smaller tasks may be overtaken in parallel, but delivering on this objective and timeline would be considered a full, successful deliverable.
Skills & experience

- Ability to run analyses independently and communicate clearly to non-analytics audiences.
- Comfort working with ambiguous questions and iterating quickly. Nice-to-have
- Experience partnering closely with Engineering organizations (DevEx, reliability, platform, delivery metrics).
- Familiarity with dbt (or similar) and modern analytics stacks.
- Experience with experimentation and causal inference basics.
- Understanding of observability concepts (logs/metrics/traces), SLOs, incident analysis.
- Exposure to cost analytics / FinOps.
- SQL + data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake/BigQuery)
- dbt or similar transformation layer
- BI tool (e.g., Looker/Mode/Tableau/Pigment)
- Git for versioning of models and documentation
- Clear written communication: problem statement, approach, assumptions, limitations, next steps.
- Stakeholder management for small projects: scoping, prioritization, and timeline expectations.
- Pragmatic approach to modeling: start simple, make it correct, then scale.

What We Do
In a world moving at an incredibly fast pace, businesses have grown accustomed to change. Transforming their business model, pivoting their strategy, rethinking their go-to-market, the list goes on. To enable these changes, they have also had to rethink the way they work. Breaking down silos isn’t a best practice anymore. It’s a given. And yet, when it comes to planning, little has changed. In fact, planning tools work the exact opposite way, reinforcing data and people silos, and preventing teams from working together toward their common goals. As a result, planning is usually seen as a dreadful process. But the truth is, planning drives strategy. It’s high time we serve it with the right tools. Pigment is the business planning platform for fast-growing companies. Our mission is to help companies make better, faster decisions in a changing world, and drive revenue growth. At Pigment we believe that: ✅ Real-time data informs better outcomes. Trim your sail, and make the best use of current winds. ✅ Reporting should be accurate, quick, and insightful. ✅ Planning should be simple, smooth, and delightful. ✅ Less time should be spent on data crunching, more time on bringing insights to the business. ✅ Collaboration should be at the heart of any planning process, so your organization works as one.
