Incumbents are outdated, slow, and burdened by high-cost services. That's our opportunity.\nOutset is backed by top Silicon Valley investors and raised a $30M Series B in December 2025-less than six months after our Series A-led by Radical Ventures with participation from M12 (Microsoft’s venture arm), 8VC, Y Combinator, and Adverb Ventures.\nThe raise follows a breakout year, with our business growing 8x as enterprise customers across industries adopt our category, AI-moderated research, as the new standard for understanding people.\nWe’re a tight-knit team serving some of the world’s largest enterprises.\nThis analyst turns Outset's own data into decisions faster than a traditional analytics hire would, by using AI tools as a core part of the workflow rather than bolting them on afterward. They're as comfortable writing a SQL query to understand critical business data accurately, as they are building a small internal tool, script, or AI skill that answers a recurring question without a human re-running it every week.\nThe job is part analysis, part automation - someone who'd rather build the dashboard-that-builds-itself than ship the same report by hand twice. Improving processes and workflows across the company excites them and they love to build tools to help internal teams across the business move, manage and understand data.\nResponsibilities\nAnswer recurring business questions across GTM, People, Product and Engineering using SQL, Python, and whatever AI tooling gets there fastest.\n\nBuild small internal tools - vibe coded apps, Slack bots, scripts, lightweight dashboards, AI skills - that eliminate a manual report or a repeated ad hoc request.\n\nPartner with stakeholders to figure out what they actually need before building anything.\n\nMaintain and improve data pipelines so the underlying numbers are trustworthy, not just the tools on top of them.\n\nEvaluate new AI tools and workflows as they come out, and decide which are actually worth adopting internally vs. hype.\n\nDocument what you build well enough that someone else can run it without you in the room.\n\nFlag data quality issues and inconsistent definitions before they turn into bad decisions.\n\nQualifications\n3+ years in a data analyst, analytics engineer, or BI role, with real SQL and Python fluency.\n\nHands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to build something real - a script, an agent, an automation - not just to summarize text.\n\nA builder's instinct: when a manual process repeats twice, the next step is automating it, not doing it a third time.\n\nAble to go from a vague stakeholder ask to a specific, well-scoped answer without heavy hand-holding.\n\nClear written communication - can explain a finding or a tool to someone non-technical in a few sentences.\n\nExperience at a startup where the data stack and tooling were still being built, not inherited mature.\n\nExposure to building or prompting AI agents/workflows (not just using chat interfaces).\n\nFamiliarity with modern BI/data tools (dbt, Looker, Hex, or similar).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3369,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Market Research","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T19:00:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/outset-data-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/outset-data-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T03:20:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5187,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":450353},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=450353"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Foutset-data-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Foutset-data-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Foutset-data-analyst"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/outset-data-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Foutset-data-analyst"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3172592}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"outset.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3172592},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
