Data Analyst Developer(Remote)

Suffering from climate anxiety? So are we. That's why we developed EcoRail, a software solution for reducing Greenhouse gas emissions across the rail industry.
Like the electric car movement, we strive to improve rail with user-friendly AI technology as we drive the rail industry towards being fully autonomous.
About us:
We are a venture-backed start-up at seed stage, with a growing customer base in the passenger and freight markets. Some of our current customers are Metrolinx, ViaRail, and Genesee & Wyoming.
We’ve attracted the attention of some of the top investors in the industry, including Trucks Venture Capital, MUUS Climate Partners, Blackhorn Ventures, and Active Impact Investments.
Our goal is to become a leader in rail software within 3 years and we are already on our way to expanding operations globally! This part is the coolest…Our solution is an app, unlike other players in rail tech which attach hardware to train engines, so customer onboarding is seamless and the possibilities are truly global with respect to impact and expansion.

The position and its impact:
As our first Data Analyst, you will have a tremendous impact on how our EcoRail app shapes real-world train operations.
Your aim will be to help us increase fuel efficiency by improving how our EcoRail app provides tips to locomotive drivers as they drive trains.
A big part of your role will be building new analysis scripts and using existing ones to discover how our customer trains move across various rail lines. You'll transform your insights into easy-to-understand visuals and numerical representations. Collaborating with our team, you'll effectively communicate these to both our customers and the wider team.
This position will be highly collaborative as it requires cross functional conversations to action these insights and shape how our entire app operates.
You will build a strong understanding of rail operations and train dynamics while you investigate fuel savings with current rail equipment, GHG emissions, and estimate safety of train operations by tracking unsafe driving behaviour. You will also help us innovate and produce actionable insights in lesser known areas that influence real world train operations.
Other cool things you will do:

• Design, build and update custom analytics dashboards for internal and external use
• Collaborate with our Operations and Engineering teams to proactively deliver critical insights about product performance and customer operations
• Analyze incoming customer data using Python and SQL to understand train operations and determine potential fuel savings / greenhouse gas reductions

You're setup for success if:

• You’ve got strong working knowledge of statistical techniques (distributions, regressions, error bounds, etc.)
• You’ve worked with git version control and agile methodologies
• You've got a good grasp of SQL (PostgreSQL)
• You’ve worked using Python, and are no stranger to libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, SciPy
• You’ve been around the block and have 1-2 years of relevant work experience with Data Analysis or are a new grad

We are super thrilled to hear from you if..

• (Bonus) Experience in the rail industry….we geek out on trains…a lot :)
• You’ve got experience with cloud database services such as AWS, InfluxDB
• You lived through a Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics degree
