We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Analytics Engineer to join one of our client projects and play a key role in designing and delivering scalable analytics solutions.

  • Inspire and storytelling - create wireframes, mock-ups, and visuals to show the art of the possible to stakeholders to validate or gather feedback.
  • Co-develop dashboards – partner with users to create and iterate on Power BI reports & models; run feedback sessions, measure adoption, and refine until the story is clear.
  • Model for insight – design data models, lake-house tables, and semantic layers that keep data fast, trusted, and easy to explore and document for Data catalog & Data architects
  • Contribute to the ETL life-cycle – build, schedule, transformation pipelines in Azure Databricks / Spark, using DBT (SQL and Python).
  • Experienced with DataOps/DevOps best practice – code versioning of ETL pipelines and Power BI (reports / projects), and implement CI/CD, automated testing, and monitoring.
  • Collaborate on strategy – work together with the Data & Analytics team to align technical choices with the wider data-platform roadmap.

What you bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years in data engineering or analytics engineering, including significant hands-on BI experience and dashboarding work with business users (Power BI, semantic models, reports, Fabric).
  • Deep expertise in Data (Lakehouse, data marts, warehouses) with strong SQL and Python skills.
  • Proven track record designing and maintaining DBT-based transformation layers and modular, production-grade code.
  • Solid understanding of dimensional, lake-house, and data-vault modelling techniques and performance optimisation.
  • Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous business questions into data products through iterative collaboration and storytelling with data.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical audiences.
