Data Specialist (with Advanced English)

About Us:

YipitData is the leading market research and analytics firm for the disruptive economy and most recently raised $475M from The Carlyle Group at a valuation of over $1B. Every day, our proprietary technology analyzes billions of alternative data points to uncover actionable insights across sectors like software, AI, cloud, e-commerce, ridesharing, and payments.

Our data and research teams transform raw data into strategic intelligence, delivering accurate, timely, and deeply contextualized analysis that our customers—ranging from the world’s top investment funds to Fortune 500 companies—depend on to drive high-stakes decisions. From sourcing and licensing novel datasets to rigorous analysis and expert narrative framing, our teams ensure clients get not just data, but clarity and confidence.

We operate globally with offices in the US, APAC, and India. Our award-winning, people-centric culture—recognized by Inc. as a Best Workplace for three consecutive years—emphasizes transparency, ownership, and continuous mastery.

About the Role:

We’re currently working on expanding our Central Data Team to increase our product portfolio with members who build, create and maintain our data products. Those with strong analytical skills who are passionate about data and excited to scale quickly to deliver top-tier products to our clients are encouraged to apply.

The Data Specialist plays a critical role in transforming messy, raw product data into high-quality metrics that our customers rely on to analyze performance and make decisions. The core of this role is applying strong judgment to shape imperfect data into consistent, scalable, and analytically meaningful outputs.

Each customer has unique business questions, data structures, and definitions of success. The Data Specialist works closely with internal teams to interpret these needs, resolve ambiguity in the underlying data, and design solutions that balance accuracy, scalability, and customer expectations. This role requires strong analytical thinking, comfort working with incomplete or inconsistent data, and accountability for delivering reliable metrics at scale.

As Our Data Specialist, you will:

• Take ownership of high-impact work with guidance — whether that’s running or building data products end-to-end, supporting centralized data ingestion pipelines the broader team relies on, or building clean, granular data feeds that help clients dive into data.
• Work with massive amounts of data to answer our clients’ key questions about the companies we cover and datasets we analyze. You’ll learn our proprietary methods and techniques, building the judgment and mental models to understand why our data works — not just how to produce it.
• Use AI and tooling to accelerate your learning and work — assisting with queries, investigations, debugging, and repetitive tasks. You’ll develop the habit of validating AI-generated outputs rather than assuming correctness, building a foundation for using AI effectively throughout your career here.
• Become a trusted resource for internal stakeholders and clients, working with them to identify and answer key questions. You’ll contribute to data feeds, custom analyses, and reports consumed by the top investors in the world.
• Improve the products, pipelines, and data feeds you own — we value curiosity and experimentation, and we expect you to follow established best practices while also questioning the status quo and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Learn or sharpen SQL, Python, and PySpark skills starting with our two-month new hire training program covering technical fundamentals as well as our internal tools and processes.

You Are Likely To Succeed If:

• You have a strong ownership mentality — you want to ensure our products are the best in the world and take personal responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
• You have strong attention to detail and produce work with minimal errors
• You communicate clearly, both orally and in writing — including proactively sharing progress, blockers, and updates
• You strive to make tasks as efficient as possible and are excited about using AI and tooling to work smarter
• You can manage multiple priorities and stay organized
• You are experimental and curious — energized by learning and not afraid to change the status quo
• You are enthusiastic about making a big impact at a rapidly growing company

What We Offer:

Our compensation package includes comprehensive benefits, perks, and a competitive salary:

• We care about your personal life and we mean it. We offer vacation time, team events and more!
• Your growth at YipitData is determined by the impact that you are making, not by tenure, unnecessary facetime, or office politics. Everyone at YipitData is empowered to learn, self-improve, and master their skills in an environment focused on ownership, respect, and trust.
• Flexible PTO for any reason, including sick days (no specified limits)
• Personal laptop
• Health and wellness package
