We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer who wants to grow their individual contributor career by solving complex data problems and contributing to the foundations of a modern, self-serve analytics platform.

• Build and support BI reporting and dashboards using modern visualisation tools.  
• Partner with analysts, product teams, and engineers to understand business requirements and translate them into robust data solutions.  
• Contribute to the design and optimisation of analytics-ready data models with a focus on usability, performance, and maintainability.  
• Implement and maintain data quality checks, testing, and documentation to improve trust in analytics outputs.  
• Support operational excellence across the analytics stack through automation, monitoring, and continuous improvement.  
• Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and team-wide engineering practices.  
• Contribute to analytics engineering standards, documentation, and best practices.  
• Support platform initiatives including migrations, model refactoring, governance improvements, and technical debt reduction.  
• Collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams to deliver high-quality outcomes. 

What we’d like to see from you: 

• Strong SQL skills and experience working with DBT or similar transformation frameworks.  
• Experience building analytics-ready data models and reporting solutions.  
• Understanding of data modelling principles, testing, and query optimisation.  
• Familiarity with modern engineering practices such as Git, CI/CD, and automated testing.  
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.  
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders.  
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to learn and grow in a fast-moving environment. 

Nice to have: 

• Experience with Databricks, Spark, or Airflow. 
• Exposure to cloud data platforms and modern data architectures. 
• Experience supporting data platform migrations or modernisation initiatives. 
• Familiarity with observability, monitoring, or data reliability practices.
