Senior Analytics Engineer

We are looking for a talented Senior Analytics Engineer to join our Data Mission, where you'll take technical ownership of how we model, transform, and activate data at scale. Using a cutting-edge tech stack including dbt, Databricks, and Kafka, you'll define the standards that the team works to and build the data products that power decisions for millions of users.

What you will be doing:

• Taking technical ownership of large data initiatives, leading delivery end-to-end across multiple components, stakeholders, and delivery phases.
• Setting and upholding best practice standards for analytics engineering across our entire data model, from data modelling conventions and dbt patterns to testing, documentation, and observability, and ensuring these standards are understood and applied consistently.
• Leading data model design discussions and shaping architectural direction, including designing new schemas from the ground up with best practices and end-user utility in mind.
• Shaping how we use SQL, dbt, Databricks, and AI at scale — advising on complex or high-risk transformations and contributing to tooling and architectural direction.
• Bringing a system-level perspective on lineage, workflows, and observability, ensuring the organisation can reason clearly about data flows, dependencies, and accountability.
• Coaching and mentoring engineers across the team, building capability through code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing.
• Collaborating with Platform and Data Science teams to define requirements for new data products and troubleshoot upstream data issues.

Skills we'd love you to have:

• You are an expert in SQL and dbt, and you apply this to design and build robust, scalable data transformations on platforms like Databricks.
• You have strong experience with data modelling concepts and frameworks (e.g. Kimball) and have led architectural design discussions.
• You can set and communicate engineering standards — you're the person others come to for guidance on how things should be built.
• You have experience diagnosing and resolving complex production issues, and you design pipelines with testing, monitoring, and maintainability in mind.
• You have a system-level view of data: you think about lineage, dependencies, and how changes ripple through a platform.
• You bring others along with you — through mentoring, documentation, and clear technical communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• You have experience with orchestration tooling (e.g. Databricks Workflows) and understand how data products are operationalised end-to-end.
• Familiarity with data activation tools (e.g. Hightouch) or streaming platforms (e.g. Kafka) is a bonus.
