Analytics Engineer II

The role bridges the gap between Data Engineers and Data Analysts by transforming complex data into accessible, reliable and performant data models and insights that support organisational decision‑making. The Analytics Engineer collaborates with stakeholders to understand analytical needs and partners with Data Architects and Data Modellers to design scalable data models aligned with enterprise data strategy. The role is responsible for designing and building efficient, reproducible data assets.

This includes data models, data marts, semantic layers and working environments, as well as scalable transformations and pipelines. These assets enable Analytical Engineers and Data Analysts to deliver insights and reports quickly, consistently and with minimal friction.

Design, build and maintain production‑ready data models that transform raw data into usable datasets. Develop scalable data transformations with strong validation, testing and quality controls. Create and optimise semantic layers and aggregation logic that support reporting and analysis. Maintain and troubleshoot live data models, resolving incidents and improving performance. Lead and influence design decisions, balancing quality, speed and long‑term sustainability. Support and guide less experienced engineers through reviews, documentation and practical coaching.
