Data Product Engineer (TakeUp)

About Us

TakeUp, LLC is revolutionizing revenue optimization for hospitality with a daring approach to pricing. Using AI and machine learning, TakeUp empowers independent operators to unlock maximum revenue potential through pricing courageous – day in, day out. Seamlessly integrated with top Property Management Systems, our platform replaces traditional rate-setting constraints with data-driven confidence, delivering an impressive 10-15x ROI.

The Opportunity

Our customer-facing product is only half the story. Behind the scenes, we rely on a growing suite of internal tools that: Configure hundreds of property-specific levers in seconds. Diagnose performance nuances across thousands of daily forecasts. Arm revenue managers with human-in-the-loop dashboards for rapid rate reviews. Answer complex customer questions with on-demand analytics and compelling visuals. You'll own this tooling layer end-to-end—ideating, building, and shipping data-driven Streamlit apps backed by robust pipelines—while collaborating with platform engineers whenever your code touches shared services.

What You’ll Do

• Design & build Streamlit apps that surface core KPIs, anomaly-detection workflows, and AI rate-review UIs.
• Model the data—write clear, performant SQL and dbt models that power your apps and keep logic in one place.
• Automate analytics pipelines in Prefect (or similar) so insights arrive before humans have to ask.
• Instrument & monitor usage, latency, and data quality; tighten feedback loops with the Head of Customer Success.
• Ship continuously—own CI/CD for your services (GitHub Actions + Docker/ECS), balancing speed with reliability.
• Evangelize best practices in code quality, testing, and documentation across the internal-tools stack

What We’re Looking For

• Python Savvy: You've shipped production data or analytics apps (Flask / FastAPI / Streamlit / Dash / Panel).
• SQL mastery: Window functions, CTEs, and query tuning are second nature; Snowflake experience is a plus.
• Data-viz chops: Matplotlib / Plotly / Altair—or your library of choice—to turn raw numbers into crisp stories.
• CI/CD familiarity: Comfortable containerizing apps and automating deploys; infra as code is a bonus.
• Startup mentality: You take broad goals, break them into sprints, and bias toward action.
• Collaborative spirit: You love whiteboarding with revenue managers as much as pairing with platform devs.
• Bonus points for understanding ML workflows (feature stores, model outputs) and translating them to non-technical users.

Why Join Us

• Immediate impact & autonomy: Your dashboards will be used daily by our revenue strategists and CS team.
• True ownership: Define the internal-tools roadmap and set the technical bar.
• Innovation runway: Work at the intersection of hospitality, analytics, and human-in-the-loop AI.
• Learning culture: Progress over perfection—experimentation is encouraged, and failures turn into "next time" docs.

Travel
This role is remote. While flexibility is key, we also value in-person connections. Travel may be needed for customer discovery, team building, and/or networking.
