Your territory

As part of our Data team, you will:

• Build data models that turn the massive amount of GPS positions, activity data, and user interactions into clear insights — so every team at Tractive can make better decisions to improve the lives of pets and their people

• Work hand-in-hand with Data Analysts, Engineers, and Scientists to design a reliable, scalable data warehouse — the foundation that powers Tractive’s product decisions, marketing strategies, customer insights, and more
• Build smart quality checks into data models to ensure stakeholders can trust key metrics — supporting use cases like monitoring live tracking frequency, detecting virtual fence exits, or evaluating battery-saving feature performance
• Share your knowledge to help teammates grow — whether it’s guiding better data practices or sparking new ideas in a collaborative session
• Bring in your fresh ideas to make Tractive better - you’ll never hear the phrase “...because that’s how we’ve always done things”
• Continuously grow personally and professionally, take ownership of areas that show your potential, and attend workshops which help you get to the next level
