Analytics Engineer

Rentman is a B2B SaaS scaleup building a smart, powerful operations management platform to support event and media production teams. Our users plan everything from small shoots to massive festivals in 70+ countries, and they all rely on Rentman to keep their gear, people, and timing perfectly in sync. We’re based in Utrecht (NL) with a second office in Toronto (CA), and our 100+ team members work in a culture that’s open, flat, and inclusive, where curiosity drives us, ownership matters, and everyone has the freedom to challenge ideas and make an impact.

Mission of this role

As Analytics Engineer, you make sure all business and customer data at Rentman is available, well-modelled, tested and contextualised so every team can trust it, use it and build on it without depending on Data & Tooling as a bottleneck. You own the full path from data to insights: integrations, transformation, documentation and enablement. This is a technical role delivered through people. You spend real time with stakeholders, understand what they actually need, push back when a request is the wrong shape and train teams to own their data. You use AI daily in your own work and structure data and context so AI agents can reason accurately about our business.

You are the data partner for every team at Rentman. You work closely with all departments but especially with CX in your first year. You identify what needs to happen, prioritise independently and flag blockers early. In a small team there is no room to wait for direction. Success means teams becoming more independent over time, not more dependent on you.

What you'll do

• Own the flow of data from source systems into the warehouse, scoping and building pipelines and integrations when teams or AI agents need data that is not yet available
• Maintain, extend and refactor the dbt project and BigQuery warehouse to keep the modelling layer consistent, tested and scalable
• Write dbt tests, monitor data freshness and volume and catch quality issues before stakeholders do
• Sit with teams, understand what they are actually trying to accomplish, push back when a request is the wrong shape and train them to own their data going forward
• Use AI daily to reshape how you work and structure dbt models, metrics and documentation so also AI agents can reason about our business accurately
• Research the opportunity to let teams build their own reporting with AI
• Resolve gaps in customer data so Product, CX, Commercial and AI agents have a single trusted view
