As a result of our incredible success and growth, we are looking for a Lead Analytics Engineer to join us. Responsibilities include Play a key role in the Analytics Engineering function and dbt environment. You will build and maintain scalable data models from the staging layer through to the "Golden Layer," with a focus on performance and reliability on AWS Redshift. Serve as a technical data partner for Product, Operations, Commercial, and other business functions. You will translate business requirements into robust data models and ensure cross-functional teams have the reliable data foundations they need. Work closely with the Lead Data Engineer and Analytics Lead to contribute to the overall data strategy. Support the growth of more junior team members through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and day-to-day guidance. Contribute to the code-based backend of our BI environment (Lightdash & Count), supporting the development and maintenance of the Semantic Layer and assisting in the integration of AI capabilities (e.g., text-to-SQL) to advance self-serve analytics.

We’d really like to hear from you, if you have 3+ years of highly technical experience with dbt and SQL. You write DRY, optimised code, build macros, manage dbt packages, and can troubleshoot performance bottlenecks. Strong hands-on experience with AWS Redshift (or a similar cloud warehouse like Snowflake/BigQuery), including solid understanding of query optimisation and warehouse architecture. You are familiar with DAG structures and how the transformation layer interfaces with orchestration tools like Apache Airflow or similar. Some experience mentoring or supporting more junior data team members, whether through code reviews, pairing, or informal guidance. You enjoy sharing knowledge and contributing to a collaborative, inclusive engineering culture. You're comfortable partnering with non-technical stakeholders across Product, Commercial, and Ops to understand data needs and translate them into well-structured solutions.
