About The Job

As a Data Engineer within YouTube Analytics and Data Science, you will be part of a community of analytics professionals who work on projects ranging from developing data pipelines that help run the business, build tools to analyze the content partnerships and creator ecosystem which guide business leadership on optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of our partner facing business teams.

Data is the fundamental building block for every tool and every insight. We build the data sets that help run the business, piping the relevant data into and out of our tools, and making it useful for analysts across the organization to drive reporting and insights.

We are responsible for democratizing YouTube’s business data, helping business leaders make sense of business operations through business intelligence.

You will scale centralized reporting, to ensure the business is operating more effectively and efficiently.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
