Sr. Data Analyst

About The Team
We're seeking a strategic and highly skilled Senior Data Analyst to join Zillow Group's Operational Data, Analytics & Metrics team. This role will be a key partner to our engineering leaders and stakeholders, enabling a cultural shift toward data-informed decision-making across the org. You'll play a central role in evolving our team's function from a data provider to a proactive consultancy—translating complex business needs into high-impact metrics, tools, and insights that directly influence engineering performance.

About The Role
This position directly supports our team's core OKR: increasing actions based on our datasets and analyses. By refining and expanding our engineering productivity metrics, this analyst will help ensure our solutions remain deeply aligned with partner needs, accurate, and strategically impactful.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with engineering leaders to understand operational goals and translate them into clear, measurable metrics.
• Create, maintain, and improve visualizations and dashboards using tools such as Tableau and Databricks.
• Conduct in-depth analysis to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities in engineering performance data.
• Ensure the relevance, clarity, and accuracy of our engineering metrics.
• Serve as a communication bridge—crafting compelling data narratives that influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support the creation of self-service data tools and "single pane of glass" views into engineering operations.

This role has been categorized as a Remote position. "Remote" employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice, which must be identified to the Company. U.S. employees may live in any of the 50 United States, with limited exceptions.

In addition to a competitive base salary and benefits, this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.
