Data Engineer / Business Data Analyst

In 2026, Flexii (an on-demand work-matching platform operating in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan) is scaling its mission to unlock people's potential through flexible work. We're searching for a Data Analyst who can Boost Flexii's growth to the next level.

About the Role

We are a fast-growing startup building a part-time worker matching platform that connects employers via a web portal and workers via a mobile app. As we scale user activity, matching quality, and operational insights, we're looking for a versatile Data Engineer / Analyst to own our end-to-end data capabilities.

This is a hybrid hands-on role combining data and data. You'll work closely with our frontend, backend, and product teams in a collaborative startup environment, helping drive product improvements and business decisions through data.

Key Responsibilities

Data Analysis & Modeling

• Perform exploratory data analysis to uncover insights on user behavior, retention, churn, worker/employer satisfaction, and platform economics, etc.
• Create dashboards/reports in Looker Studio (or similar tools like Tableau/Power BI if needed) to track KPIs and support product/operations decisions.
• Build and iterate on scoring models using NLP techniques, embeddings/vector models (e.g. text similarity for job-worker fit, review sentiment), and machine learning to improve our service quality.
• Evaluate results from A/B tests or quasi-experiments to measure impact of product changes (e.g. new matching algorithms, UI tweaks).
• Translate business questions into data queries and deliver clear, actionable recommendations to product, operations, and leadership teams.

Data Infrastructure & Engineering

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines to collect, clean, and transform data from our web portal, mobile app, APIs, and other sources into a reliable data warehouse.
• Manage and evolve our data warehouse primarily in Google BigQuery, including schema design, partitioning/clustering for cost/performance, and migration toward hybrid SQL/NoSQL setups for growing analytical workloads.
• Implement data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting to ensure trustworthy data for analysis and product features.
• Facilitate the setup of data tracking (event logging, user behavior, matching events) using tools like Google Analytics, custom event tracking, or similar.
• Collaborate with backend engineers on data-related topics (e.g. API instrumentation, database optimization in PostgreSQL, planning for NoSQL adoption like Bigtable and/or MongoDB).

Additional Scope (as the data function grows)

• Support data needs for product experimentation and growth initiatives.
• Document data models, pipelines, and business logic for team knowledge sharing.
• Stay up-to-date with new data tools and best practices; suggest improvements to our stack as we scale.
• Help define data governance basics (e.g. access controls, PII handling) in a startup context.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a closely related role.
• Strong proficiency in SQL (preferably PostgreSQL) and hands-on experience with BigQuery (or similar data warehouses like Redshift, Snowflake).
• Hands-on experience in building ETL/ELT processes (e.g. using Cloud Functions, Dataflow, Cloud Composer, Airflow, or similar).
• Hands-on experience in Looker Studio (or similar tools like Looker, Tableau, Power BI) for visualization and reporting.
• Hands-on experience in vector embeddings or NLP libraries (e.g. Gemini API Embeddings, Hugging Face sentence-transformers, scikit-learn).
• General awareness of software development practices (APIs, version control/Git, backend/frontend concepts) to collaborate effectively with engineering teams.
• Excellent communication skills — able to explain technical concepts and insights to non-technical stakeholders.
• Proactive, self-motivated mindset suited to an emerging startup (comfortable wearing multiple hats and iterating quickly).

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with GCP ecosystem beyond BigQuery (e.g. Vertex AI, Cloud Functions).
• Exposure to ML model deployment.
• Exposure to NoSQL database
• Prior work in marketplace platforms, gig economy, HR-tech, or matching/recommendation systems
