Supporting analysts at different technical levels, helping them build stronger engineering habits and become more effective with data.

Acting as a bridge between analysts, backend engineers, product teams, and the data platform team to make sure data is generated, modelled, and used effectively.

Identifying opportunities to improve the efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of our transformation pipeline over time.

Scaling our data infrastructure to proactively support the requirements of a rapidly growing business.

You’ll work with a modern analytics stack centred around SQL, Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran and Claude.

Good judgement in balancing longer-term platform improvements with day-to-day business needs.

The ability to spot inefficiencies in existing data workflows and improve them independently.

Comfort using AI tools effectively to move faster, improve quality, and strengthen day-to-day analytical and engineering workflows.
