About AngelList:

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world.

  • You have previously worked in an early-stage company, and you know how to navigate and be successful in a startup environment
  • Ability to problem solve and navigate ambiguity
  • Expert knowledge of SQL
  • Experience designing & implementing data ecosystems, including reporting & dashboards

How Success will be Measured in this Role:

If you don’t tick every box above, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.

AngelList has offices in two hub cities: San Francisco and New York City that you can choose to work from. We’re focused on hiring within these hubs and people within 1 hour travel distance of the hub offices are expected to come into the office twice per week. From time to time, we will make rare exceptions for new hires if they need to be fully remote.
