• Design and build robust dbt models on Databricks that transform raw, ingested data into clean, conformed, and analytics-ready datasets. • Define and implement KPI logic in collaboration with business and analytics stakeholders, ensuring consistent definitions across domains. • Maintain and evolve the semantic/presentation layer, ensuring data products are reliable, tested, documented, and performant. • Apply software engineering best practices to analytics code: version control, testing, CI/CD, and documentation. • Independently onboard new data domains (e.g. marketing attribution, product usage, customer care, subscription data) with limited guidance — exploring the data, understanding its structure and meaning, and deciding how to best model it. • Proactively engage business partners and domain owners to understand context, validate assumptions, and align on KPI definitions. • Identify data quality issues early and work with the Data Management team to resolve them at source. • Act as the connective tissue between data engineers and analysts: translating analytical needs into engineering tasks, and surfacing data realities back to the business. • Work with the Analytics team to ensure the presentation layer meets reporting and self-service needs. • Contribute to data governance: naming conventions, lineage documentation, and model cataloguing. • Support the broader team in extending analytics coverage to new brands and domains over time.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or a closely related data role.
- Strong, hands-on proficiency with dbt (dbt Core or dbt Cloud) — this is a core requirement.
- Experience working on Databricks (or a comparable cloud data platform such as Snowflake or BigQuery).
- Solid understanding of dimensional modelling, data vault, or similar data warehousing patterns.
- SQL excellence: complex transformations, window functions, query optimisation.
- Proven ability to work autonomously across multiple data domains simultaneously, figuring out unfamiliar data with limited documentation.
- Strong analytical mindset: able to interrogate data critically, spot anomalies, and validate logic end-to-end.
- Excellent communication skills — comfortable talking directly with business stakeholders to elicit requirements and explain data concepts.
- Experience working across diverse data domains (e.g. marketing, product analytics, customer care, financial/subscription data).
Benefits
- Remote work options
- Flexible working hours
- Professional development opportunities
