Analytics Engineer - giffgaff in Uxbridge

We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer to join giffgaff’s Data Engineering team and help shape the next chapter of our data platform. Having recently completed a major transformation from a legacy warehouse to a modern stack (Snowflake, dbt, Argo Workflows and Kafka), we now have strong foundations in place - and the opportunity to really maximise the value we deliver. In this role, you’ll design and build scalable, high-quality data pipelines and models that power analytics, experimentation and decision-making across the business, working at the intersection of data engineering and analytics.

Product analytics sits at the heart of this role. You’ll partner closely with Product, Data Science, BI and Engineering teams to enable self-serve analytics, support data-driven product development, and ensure meaningful, reliable insights are always available. At giffgaff, we build and own the technology we use, from APIs and events to microservices and data models, giving you real influence over how solutions are designed and delivered. We’re proud of our inclusive, supportive culture and are committed to helping everyone grow - because great data products are built by diverse teams who feel empowered to do their best work.

Do you want to join a connectivity provider that's up to good? At giffgaff, we do things differently. We call out the bad and find a better way. We're laser-focused on flexibility, value and mutual good. And we’re proud to be a certified B Corp. This means we’ve joined a network of more than 2,000 UK companies who want to make a positive impact on people and the planet. Working at giffgaff is something you could be proud of too.

You’ll get the best of both worlds, the energy and fast pace of giffgaff, plus all the benefits that come with being part of our parent company, Virgin Media O2. Our business model is unique. We work with our members (our customers) to understand their needs in all areas of the business. We love this highly collaborative approach. We’re always looking to acquire new members, and to do that we need the best people in our team.

In return for your outstanding efforts, you’ll be rewarded with a competitive salary and excellent benefits that are all about making your work life a winner. Take a look at our culture and benefits - you might just be surprised.
