Challenges You Will SolveThe Business Data Infrastructure (BDI) Team is the beating heart of our business data and analytics ecosystem at Red Canary, ensuring that all insights, decisions, and innovations are powered by consistent, accurate, and accessible data. 
The BDI team takes a data product approach, where the hub serves as the platform for developing and managing data products. We defined data products as discrete, reusable datasets or pipelines that are curated to meet the needs of various stakeholders. These data products are treated like standalone assets, each with a clear purpose, defined ownership, and measurable quality standards. This ensures consistent delivery of tangible value to the spokes (the various departments across Red Canary).
By aligning the design, governance, and delivery of data products with user needs, we ensure that data is not just accessible but also usable, meaningful, and trusted. Thus, BDI is not a passive data store, but a marketplace of data products, enabling our teams to innovate faster while maintaining enterprise-level standards and cohesion.
We are seeking a Data Analyst to help bridge that gap between raw data and actionable insight, ensuring that the right data is available, understandable, and impactful for business decision-makers.
This role will work closely with various teams to understand their challenges, translate business needs into data requirements, and curate datasets that empower decision-making. They will use SQL, Python, Sagemaker and other modern BI tools to construct insight-centric data products, dashboards, and reports that deliver meaningful analysis – partnering with business leaders, analysts, and data engineers to deliver trusted, high-quality insights that drive innovation and operational efficiency.

• Create Dashboards and Reports – Leverage BI tools (such as Quicksight, Tableau, or Streamlit) to render insights in an accessible, visually compelling manner, enabling non-technical users to explore and act on data effectively.
• Enable Decision Intelligence – Translate analytical findings into actionable guidance, helping teams optimize strategies and tactics based on data-driven information and insights.
• Ensure Data Quality and Consistency – Collaborate with stakeholders and data engineering to validate data quality, diagnose source-system issues and govern/maintain feedback loops which ensure high-quality, reliable, and trustworthy data.
• Partner with Data Engineers – Work alongside data engineers to improve data pipelines, enhance accessibility, and ensure analytics needs are met efficiently.

What You'll Bring
