What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer / Analytics Engineer position at Sixth Street?
The Role
This is a full-time in office (hybrid) role based in our Austin, Dallas or New York offices. This position is part of Sixth Street's growing data analytics team. You will play a pivotal role in how we story-tell with our data—transforming complex information into compelling, actionable insights. We have built, and will continue to build, custom analytics solutions, giving you room for creativity in how data is displayed, visualized, and consumed across the organization.
This role requires versatility. While your primary focus will be analytics engineering, you will occasionally wear multiple hats: the data engineering hat when building data pipelines to bring in data needed for dashboards, the software engineering hat to ensure dashboard components are reusable across the company by contributing to our internal libraries, and the infrastructure hat to maintain impeccable CI/CD processes and ensure our stacks are optimized for scalability and performance.
About Our Product And Stack
Founded in 2009, Sixth Street is a leading global investment firm dedicated to developing themes and offering solutions to companies across all stages of growth.
Our firm is designed for cross-platform collaboration at scale: we build businesses, invest for growth, acquire assets, provide direct financing, identify value in public markets, purchase royalty streams, and regularly develop first-of-their-kind structures to meet the strategic objectives of management teams.
We do all this globally and as one unified team of investment and control-side professionals working on behalf of our institutional investors and their beneficiaries around the world.
We believe adhering to our core values is a competitive advantage. Everyone on our team contributes their perspectives and expertise to help us solve complex challenges and get to the right answer. At Sixth Street, the best idea wins.
