Fixing finance – for real

Small businesses drive the economy. They build, hire, innovate, and take risks. But when they need financing, things still move at the speed of paper. Endless forms. Long approvals. Decisions based on history, not logic. We built BridgeFund to fix that. What takes weeks elsewhere happens here in seconds. A small business applies in 3 minutes, and our model decides in one. No paperwork. No waiting. No human bottlenecks. Just smart tech making fair decisions, fast. That is how we grew 74 percent last year, provided over 500 million euros in funding, and will close 2025 profitably. Now we are scaling our analytics capabilities to turn raw data into trusted datasets that power every decision we make.

“The data models we build become the single source of truth. It’s analytics engineering with real impact, and that makes it incredibly rewarding.”

Your role as Analytics Engineer

You’ll build the data foundation that makes analytics possible at BridgeFund. From raw data to trusted datasets, the models you create will serve as the single source of truth for analysts, scientists, and business teams across the company. You’ll join a compact, high-impact team of data analysts and engineers who turn business questions into data products. Together you’ll bridge the gap between raw pipelines and business insights, working within Databricks to design, build, and maintain data models that are robust, scalable, and built for production. You’ll work closely with data analysts to understand business requirements and translate them into clean, well-documented data models. You’ll collaborate with the platform team to ensure alignment on data pipelines, schemas, and architectural decisions. And you’ll partner with business stakeholders to make sure every model reflects how the business actually operates. This is not just data transformation. You’ll define standards for the analytics engineering domain, implement data quality frameworks that catch issues before they reach dashboards, and apply software engineering best practices like version control, automated testing, and CI/CD to everything you build. You’ll architect the scalable, efficient, cost-optimised data environment that grows with the company’s needs, while giving analysts and other teams the reliable data they need to move fast with confidence.
