About The Role

As a Senior Analytics Engineer at Color, you will be the bridge between stakeholders and scalable data solutions. You’ll create and maintain the foundational data models that power insights into our cancer screening programs — enabling us to demonstrate impact, identify areas for improvement, and drive product and business decisions with confidence. Partnering across Data, Product, and Engineering, you’ll help define and maintain trusted technical definitions that support experimentation and ensure accurate measurement of program success.

Beyond delivering dashboards and metrics, you’ll look for patterns in stakeholder needs across BI, product analytics, and client analytics, designing durable systems that go beyond ad hoc solutions : building trusted data infrastructure, self-service tools, and education that empower teams to answer their own questions. You’ll also experiment with AI and automation to scale analytics workflows and unlock new capabilities.

This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of technical engineering and cross-functional strategy — eager to shape both the infrastructure and the culture that enable data-driven decisions at scale, while advancing Color’s mission to transform cancer care.

How You'll Contribute :

• Build foundational data models that help Color demonstrate program value to employers and prospective clients.
• Translate business needs and source data into robust, scalable models that power accurate, insightful analysis.
• Collaborate across Product, Engineering, Operations, GTM, Clinical, and Client teams — clarifying ambiguity and balancing scope vs. impact to deliver meaningful solutions.
• Define and maintain business logic in dbt, keeping the warehouse aligned with evolving products, data, and business needs.
• Create self-service data layers that speak the language of business users, enabling intuitive, independent exploration.
• Partner with BI and analytics teams to align on metrics and ensure consistency and trust across dashboards.
• Identify recurring patterns and build reusable solutions that reduce ad hoc work and improve scalability.
• Use emerging AI and automation tools to streamline analytics workflows and boost team efficiency.
• Contribute to a culture of data-driven decision-making by mentoring peers and sharing best practices in analytics engineering.
