Familiarity with BI tools like Tableau or Power BI.

Comfortable using AI tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini) to speed up coding, automate tasks, or assist system design.

How You'll Make an Impact

Keep marketing data pipelines reliable, accurate, and available.

Improve data quality and compliance across every marketing data system.

Enable faster, more confident reporting and campaign decisions.

Cut pipeline downtime through proactive monitoring and alerting.

Why CustomerLabs

Own core data infrastructure behind a real product, not a side project.
