As a Analytics Engineer Lead, you'll set the gold standard for our data practices at Kaluza. You'll be the architect responsible for making our data scalable, reliable, and built on modern best practices — driving the strategy behind our data models and bridging the gap between high-level business goals and technical reality.
You'll define and enforce engineering best practices (CI/CD, modularity) across the data organisation, develop advanced modelling solutions for complex scenarios, and research and implement modern data stack tooling. You'll own the long-term vision for data modelling, design and implement data governance frameworks, and act as lead responder for GDPR-related incidents. Working cross-functionally, you'll partner with Product to shape the Analytics Engineering Roadmap, translate complex business needs into technical requirements, and champion a data-driven culture across Kaluza.

Expert-level proficiency in SQL and dbt, with a strong focus on writing clean, reusable, and testable code
Mastery of dimensional data modelling and the ability to develop solutions for highly complex scenarios
Proven ability to drive adoption of new standards, patterns, and tools across multiple teams without direct authority
Exceptional communication skills — able to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and senior business leaders
Strong stakeholder management experience, with the ability to extract core requirements and identify the source of truth in complex, cross-functional environments
A deep, end-to-end understanding of the data lifecycle, from ingestion and transformation through to consumption
What will set you apart
Experience owning and driving a long-term data modelling strategy, not just contributing to one
Hands-on experience designing and implementing data governance frameworks
Experience acting as a lead responder for GDPR or data privacy incidents
A track record of leading rapid proof of concepts to validate new technologies or approaches
