Full Job Description

About Orchard Orchard’s mission is to make home buying and selling, stress free, fair and simple. For the average American, the home purchase and sale process takes months, creates anxiety, and is filled with uncertainty and hassle. Orchard has reimagined the end-to-end experience of buying and selling, from innovative home search tools to find the perfect home to the ability to buy a new home before selling your current one. Orchard customers manage the entire experience through a personalized online dashboard, while also getting the support of best-in-class Orchard real estate agents. Headquartered in New York City with teammates across the US, Orchard has 150+ full time employees and 600+ real estate agents. We have financing from top-tier investors including Revolution Growth, Firstmark, Accomplice, Navitas and Juxtapose, who have also backed the likes of Pinterest, AirBnb, Shopify and Sweetgreen.

About the Role Orchard is looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to help rebuild how the business gets answers from its data. We're moving from a sprawling Looker footprint to a set of certified gold-tier models, paired with a prose-based semantic layer that lets stakeholders ask questions in plain language and get trustworthy answers.

You'll build agent analysts on top of them that surface important changes to stakeholders. You’ll own that transition end to end and help set the technical direction for analytics at Orchard. This is a full-time role that will report to the Director of Platform Product and Data. This role can either be based in our New York headquarters on a hybrid schedule (Tuesday and Wednesday), or can be fully remote in Austin or Denver.
