Analytics Engineer

We’re on a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses clever data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks. At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start‑up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts. We’re a high-performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs - because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better. The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.2bn for the UK economy.

In this role, you will tackle unique technical challenges and build high‑impact data models that power essential reporting and self‑serve analytics. This is a rare opportunity to help build a top‑tier Analytics Engineering function with the full backing of the business. We are investing heavily in the people, tools, and technology required to succeed, offering you a key role in defining the future of our data capabilities.

• Building and owning high quality dbt models, ensuring they are performant, well documented and thoroughly tested.
• Collaborating with stakeholders to understand their needs and build models that drive insights and decision making.
• Champion best practices for data modelling, transformation, and governance, in your immediate team and across the business.
• Consult on our evolving data platform, advising on the tooling, infrastructure and practices needed to enable best‑in‑class Analytics Engineering.
• Proactively problem solving, identifying and confidently mitigating any risks, issues or control weaknesses that arise in your day‑to‑day.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong SQL skills, with experience writing efficient and well structured queries.
• Hands on experience with DBT, building and maintaining modular, scalable data models that follow best practices.
• Strong understanding of dimensional modelling.
• Familiarity with AWS data services (S3, Athena, Glue).
• Experience with Airflow for scheduling and orchestrating workflows.
• Experience working with data lakes or modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery).
• A pragmatic problem solver who can balance technical excellence with business needs.

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you.
