We are transforming how digital merchandising teams work: instead of digging through reports and configuring rules by hand, they ask in plain language, get answers grounded in their own data, and approve the changes the agent prepares. Customers already rely on the agent to save time and make better decisions.\nWe own the agent end to end, from the first question a merchant asks to the answer they act on. We also own the analytics behind it: the pipelines and cubes for search, browse, and recommendation performance, and the metric definitions merchants rely on.\nThat is why we build the agent and the Customer Dashboard as a platform that every Constructor team extends. We create the foundation that other teams build on: the agent framework, shared components, and infrastructure. On top of it, teams add their own data, tools, and skills, so the agent can answer questions in their domain and the dashboard can show their features without separate interfaces. Each new capability gives merchants more ways to grow their business.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild and own the batch pipelines and cubes behind dashboard analytics and agent insights\n\nModel shopper, trend, and benchmark data so the agent can find opportunities across the shopping journey\n\nShape data for each role: a merchandiser's category, a product manager's funnel step, an executive's total\n\nOwn data quality and trust: freshness, monitoring, alerting, and metric definitions\n\nWork with engineers, analysts, and product to find the data the agent is missing and turn merchant questions into data products\n\nShip your data into the product: simple analytics UIs, and the agent skills, tools, and prompts that use it\n\nRequirements\nMust-have\nProficiency in Python and SQL (any dialect)\n\nExperience building and maintaining batch data pipelines with Spark (PySpark)\n\nFamiliarity with the big data stack: Databricks, ClickHouse and dbt\n\nExperience with data modeling for analytics: aggregated tables and cubes that feed dashboards and APIs\n\nExperience with data quality and pipeline monitoring: freshness checks, alerting, incident response\n\nAbility to prototype fast and pick the metrics that matter in e-commerce\n\nAbility to translate business questions into technical requirements, and back\n\nClear communication with engineers and non-technical stakeholders\n\nNice-to-have\nExperience building frontend UIs, or willingness to work across the full stack to ship data into product features\n\nExperience with pandas, NumPy\n\nExperience building AI agents: tools, skills, prompts, context, and evaluations\n\nExperience with real-time analytics: ClickHouse, Cube.js\n\nExperience with AWS\n\nFamiliarity with statistics for experimentation (A/B tests)\n\nBenefits\nUnlimited vacation, with a recommended minimum of 3 weeks per year\n\nFully remote team: choose where you live\n\nWork-from-home stipend to set up your home office\n\nApple laptop for new employees\n\nAnnual training and development budget for every employee\n\nMaternity and paternity leave for qualified employees\n\nSmart colleagues who help you grow and make a meaningful impact\n\nBase salary: 80-120K USD, depending on knowledge, skills, experience, and interview results\n\nStock options, in addition to the base salary\n\nRegular team offsites to connect and collaborate\n\nDiversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Constructor\nAt Constructor.io we are committed to cultivating a work environment that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
