About the Role:

We are seeking a talented and motivated Operations Analyst who is best in class with both high IQ and high EQ. This role presents an exciting opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment within a rapidly growing team, with abundant prospects for career advancement.
As part of ensuring a seamless product experience, the Operations team investigates system behaviors, bugs, escalations, and operational issues flagged internally or raised by customer-facing teams. Operations Analysts validate system behavior using SQL, logs, and debugging tools; identify root causes; communicate clearly with technical and non-technical teams; and help evolve processes to drive efficiency and reliability. The ideal candidate is curious, analytical, technically inclined, and highly organized.

What you'll do:

  • Investigate, triage, and escalate bugs or system issues across product and engineering teams.
  • Analyze data to identify patterns, root causes, and potential solutions.
  • Work with SQL, logs, APIs, and internal tooling to validate hypotheses and confirm system behavior.
  • Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product, and support teams to ensure timely resolution of issues.
  • Break down ambiguous problems into structured steps and actionable insights.
  • Manage multiple investigations simultaneously while maintaining clarity, accuracy, and documentation quality.
  • Handle escalations from internal stakeholders in a professional, timely, and detail-oriented manner.
  • Continuously develop domain expertise and improve tooling, workflows, and operational processes.

What We Look For:

  • Core Skills & Experience

    • Strong investigative mindset: able to dissect ambiguous problems, gather evidence, and form hypotheses.
    • High curiosity: naturally inclined to ask follow-up questions, explore edge cases, and understand how systems behave.
    • Ability to break down complex issues into clear, structured problem statements.
    • Solid critical-thinking skills—comfortable evaluating conflicting information or incomplete data.

    Technical Skills

    SQL
    • Ability to write basic queries (joins, filters, aggregations).
    • Comfortable validating data, checking logs, and confirming system states with SQL.
    Programming Familiarity
    • Exposure to at least one general-purpose programming language (Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, etc.).
    • Able to read and understand code at a beginner level.
    • Experience from a bootcamp, self-learning, or academic coursework is acceptable.
    Debugging & Tools
    • Basic understanding of APIs, JSON, and HTTP request/response flows.
    • Ability to use tools such as Postman, log viewers, or internal admin dashboards.
    • Comfort navigating technical environments (database consoles, monitoring systems, etc.).

    Communication & Soft Skills

    • Excellent written communication: able to produce clear, concise bug reports and investigative summaries.
    • Strong verbal communication for cross-team collaboration and explaining findings.
    • Ability to adapt communication to the audience (engineering vs. support, etc.).
    • Confidence asking clarifying questions to reduce ambiguity.
    • Detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership.
    • Comfortable working through ambiguity and incomplete information.
    • Driven to understand why things happen, not just what happened.
    • Resilient and calm when dealing with urgent or high-pressure escalations.
    • Organized and able to manage multiple investigations at once.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in a SaaS, fintech, or data-driven environment.
  • Familiarity with ticketing/workflow systems (Zendesk, Jira, etc.).
  • Experience writing documentation or contributing to internal knowledge bases.
  • Background in quantitative or technical fields is beneficial but not required.
  • Experience with data analysis tools or scripting (e.g., Python, R, analytics tooling) is a plus.
