I'd call this Lead Data Engineer, but it matters less what you call it and more what you put in the job description. For the requirements you've given, I'd suggest looking for someone who's set up tracking and the modern data stack from scratch, regardless of whether their title at the time was software/data/analytics engineer. Searching for "modern data stack" will get you a (growing) set of relevant tools.
You might also want to read The Informed Company by Fowler & David, which does a good job starting with a very simple setup and walking through how and when and what to add on - the folks you're looking for are in high demand, and if you don't find someone quickly, the book might give you enough to help your junior devs make reasonable choices for where you are now.
In addition to others already mentioned, "Becoming a Manager," by Linda Hill: follows a group of new managers for a year, discussing how their understanding of their role changes. Absolutely great - for a long time I kept a home copy and a work copy. Follow-up "Being the Boss" is also good. And "The Leadership Pipeline," by Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, James Noel: what you need to learn/change to succeed at each different level of management.
Jobcase runs a set of job boards and a professional social network focused on the almost 3/4 of the country that doesn't have a four-year college degree.

Full-stack engineer (especially principal/senior level) - Build all our member-facing and employer-facing applications including Jobcase.com, working mostly in Ruby on Rails, maybe some Vue.js. Drive the experience for member acquisition, social network features, and new employer features, working closely with product management and design/UX. Expertise in scaling both technology and team processes highly desirable.
Quantitative data analyst - Own a slice of our business metrics and drive member acquisition and engagement. Send email/SMS communications, work with engineering to build new flows and features, and come up with experiments to optimize the member experience.
Interview process is a phone screen, then onsite interviews, with onsite design exercise and/or take-home coding/analysis exercise. Happy to answer questions, jberk at jobcase.com - my team works pretty closely with all of those teams.

HR views recruiting as a funnel process, similar to sales. There are a set of screening steps testing different skills, and at each step you lose a fraction of candidates, until you get down to the set who accept offers.
That's a reasonable model, but it works best if all your filtering steps are effective tests for the things you care about. Getting that right is demonstrably hard, between some hiring managers who don't know or don't communicate what they're looking for, some recruiters who don't understand what they're looking for or how to recognize it, and some job-seekers who don't communicate or demonstrate their skills through the hiring process. And so everyone sees and resents flaws in the funnel.
