SUMMARY

We are looking for a smart, experienced, and motivated Data Developer to join our Columbus team. 

The Data Developer is responsible for supporting end-to-end data development, from building data architectures for robust data sets to collecting & modeling data. You will work with internal departments to define their analytic requirements and set up their corresponding data environments. You will be a valued member with the opportunity to shape the way that we collect and share data, influencing processes and efficiency across the agency and its clientele.

This is a hybrid work-from-home/office position (in-office attendance is required on Tuesdays & Thursdays) and the candidate must live near Columbus, OH.

At The Shipyard, we know that it's your unique talents, backgrounds, and perspectives that make you who you are, just like our team, who come from various career paths and experiences. We believe we can't be truly diverse without bringing your most authentic self to the agency.

Studies show that people from marginalized communities may not always apply for positions if they don't meet every single requirement in a job posting. At The Shipyard, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all the requirements.
