Exoticca Data Team Opportunity

Exoticca is a pioneering online travel agency that has revolutionized the conception, production, and e-commerce of long-distance dream trips. At the core of Exoticca's brand equity is the commitment to "creating life milestones." We believe in delivering best-value trips, exploring unique destinations, curating extraordinary travel experiences, and demonstrating genuine care for both our customers and the planet.

We are a professional, dynamic, multicultural team in rapid international growth, seeking new partners to help us create the best and most forward-thinking travel company of our generation.

At Exoticca, the Data team is the main driver of data as a strategic asset, ensuring it is essential in key decision-making across the whole organization. We capture vast amounts of data from multiple customer touch points, spanning from consideration and booking, to pre-travel, travel, and post-travel. Combined with our customer-centric and AI-driven approach, we believe that our data-driven culture is the key to deliver unparalleled personalized product & services, that wow our customers and create unforgettable experiences to be remembered for a lifetime.

In order to achieve such ambitious goals, our Data team operates as a cross-functional unit, collaborating closely with departments such as Marketing, Product, Travel, Sales, and Customer Success. This setup allows us to work end-to-end — from raw data ingestion and modeling, to the delivery of impactful insights, predictive models, and AI-powered applications. We strive to uncover the most valuable opportunities our data can offer and turn them into actionable business initiatives, scalable data products, and customer-centric experiences. Whether it's growing sales, enhancing personalization, driving automation, or optimizing processes, we believe in using data and AI not just to understand the business — but to shape its future. If you're passionate about data, AI, and creating real impact, we can't wait to have you on board!

Which will be your main responsibilities:

• Translate business needs into data models and products, ensuring scalable and maintainable pipelines that serve both analytics and AI use cases.
• Design, model, and process event-driven data using technologies such as Kafka and Snowplow, enabling reliable real-time and behavioral tracking across the customer journey.
• Leverage AI tools such as text-to-SQL and conversational interfaces, and contribute to the development of a semantic layer to enable business users to query data with natural language.
• Define and maintain core business metrics in our semantic layer, ensuring consistency and clarity across teams for performance tracking and forecasting.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to identify opportunities for predictive modeling, automation, and ML integration in our data ecosystem.
• Build and optimize dashboards and visualizations that expose key insights, empowering teams to make data-informed decisions.
• Apply statistical and mathematical knowledge (e.g., regression analysis, hypothesis testing, variance analysis) to solve complex business questions.
• Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and Operations to support roadmap decisions and measure feature impact with data.
• Contribute to our data architecture, promoting best practices in data quality, version control, documentation, and deployment through tools like dbt, Airflow, and Trino/Iceberg.
