Data Analyst - Remote

Overview

Canals is a bootstrapped, profitable startup transforming logistics and distribution with AI. Our platform seamlessly integrates with the systems distributors, manufacturers, and vendors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe. We’re a 60-person, fully remote team (40 in engineering) across North and South America, operating at millions in ARR and growing rapidly without outside funding.

In Short

• Own core business metrics end-to-end: design, implement, test, document, and maintain them in dbt and Snowflake.
• Convert ad-hoc analyses into durable, reusable warehouse artifacts rather than dashboard patches.
• Implement and maintain automated data tests, monitors, and lineage; integrate them into CI.
• Troubleshoot ingestion and transformation issues and ship fixes upstream (dbt/Snowflake).
• Partner closely with other teams to ensure data is performant, stable, and production-ready for models.
• Support product and commercial teams with analysis and insights.
• Improve self-serve documentation, tools, and onboarding.
• Surface platform roadmap work: identify recurring needs that should become new marts, schemas, or pipelines.
