About Primerli

Primerli is an early-stage, high-growth EdTech startup on a mission to raise the bar in digital learning. Let’s face it: most professional learning content is notoriously low quality. It’s boring, slow, and ineffective. At the same time, “content” elsewhere is more engaging than ever.

That’s where Primerli comes in. At Primerli, we know how to get people up to speed quickly on complex topics - and how to make it actually enjoyable.  We are taking the modern standards of structure, storytelling, and production quality and applying them to create learning content that professionals want to binge-watch.We partner with industry experts with decades of experience to distill their knowledge into bite-sized, animated content that is easy to understand and enjoyable to watch.

The role

We are looking for a hands-on data engineer who can own Primerli’s technology support function. Primerli is skyrocketing on a 10X growth trajectory, and we are upgrading our data infrastructure and workflow to meet our future needs. You will play a vital role in this exciting journey, via the following responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain robust data pipelines 
  • Create dashboards in BI software to support metrics reporting and customer success
  • Identify efficiency improvement opportunities in current workflow and incorporate automation to scale up operations
  • Support the leadership team with other technical needs

This role requires 10 hours of work per week, and we'd love to bring on board someone for a long-term commitment (more than 12 months). While the company is based in California, you will be working remotely with a global team and reporting directly to the Operations Project Lead.

What we are looking for

Data engineering experience: you have strong technical skills in ETL and workflow automation, and always sanity check your work. Fluency with Python is a must

Familiarity with BI software: you have experience with Business Intelligence software (e.g., PowerBI, Looker)

Communications: you can communicate technical terms in plain language and defend ideas effectively

Strong values: you care about others, not just yourself, and you see competitiveness as complementary, not a barrier, to showing compassion, kindness, and empathy

Get-stuff-done attitude: you are self-motivated, can manage timelines, and stay true to your commitments

Growth mindset: you are intellectually curious and willing to learn new technologies to adapt to the dynamic scope of this role

Broader engineering experience: experience in test engineering, security controls and web development is a plus
