HomeAdvisor - Data Architect

"... never settle for what works, but look for the best possible solution."
May be interesting, though may lead to endless bickering and prima-donna technical architects.

"Send us a resume to start the conversation."
Ugh, makes me feel ill.

With our operations across North America and Europe growing daily, HomeAdvisor generates a tremendous amount of data every day. Though we know a lot about what's happening in our business, we could know so much more. It's time for us to change our conversation from ": data": to "information" - and we're looking to add some new skills to our Data Warehouse/Business Intelligence team to help us get to the next level.

HomeAdvisor is currently seeking a Data Architect/Modeler to join our small, hard-charging team of developers and analysts. As we rebuild our data warehouse, this is your chance to get on at the ground floor and help transform how our business consumes data. As an Architect, we'll be looking to you as a subject matter expert across a variety of topics: data architecture, data modeling, data governance, and Master Data Management, to name a few. Additionally, you'll:
- Set strategy for the entire data platform, data design and architecture
- Serve as a primary technical resource and liaison for the business
- Develop and manage all system architecture, and develop/oversee all design, coding, testing, debugging, and documentation for the data warehouse.

Experience and Skills:
Experience and skills that are important to us:
- 8-10 years of experience in data warehousing with strong experience in data architecture, data modeling, data governance, Master Data Management, etc.
- Knowledge of Oracle database structures and PL/SQL
- Experience implementing and championing best practices in building a data warehouse, with a strong desire to improve on the status quo
- Experience with the Informatica MDM tool, or similar, is a plus.

Not familiar with HomeAdvisor? Every 5 seconds, a homeowner turns to us for help with their home improvement or home maintenance project. We have tools for planning and research, and when a homeowner is ready to hire, we connect them to pre-screened specialists in their area. We're headquartered just outside of Denver, and have grown our business exponentially in 15 years. We've been named to the Denver Post's Top Workplaces lists for both 2013 and 2014, and offer a casual and fast-paced, work/life balanced work atmosphere.

We are looking for technical leaders who never settle for what works, but look for the best possible solution. Think you have what it takes to join the team? Send us a resume to start the conversation.
