Senior Data Analytics Engineer

Data is a core asset for the organisation, and the team is focused on building high-quality data products that support decision-making across commercial, financial, and operational teams.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to join a small, collaborative data team. This is a hands-on individual contributor role where you'll take ownership of analytics datasets and models that are used directly by the business and external partners.

The role is dbt-heavy and well suited to someone who enjoys building clean, reliable transformation layers and working closely with stakeholders to turn data into insight.

What You'll Be Doing

• Spending the majority of your time working in dbt
• Writing and optimising complex SQL to transform raw data into usable datasets
• Creating data products that support reporting, dashboards, and business insights
• Working cross-functionally with business and technical stakeholders
• Supporting use cases such as financial reporting, scenario analysis, and partner-facing data
• Taking ownership of subject areas and driving conversations in a small team environment

Tech Stack

• dbt (core requirement)
• SQL
• Modern cloud data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift)
• BI tools such as Looker, Power BI, or Tableau
• Some exposure to Python and orchestration tools (e.g. Dagster) is beneficial, but not the main focus

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience as an Analytics Engineer or Data Analyst
• Very strong dbt experience and confidence owning data models end to end
• Solid SQL skills and experience working with large datasets
• Good business understanding and the ability to explain insights clearly
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with others
• Experience in consulting or working with external stakeholders is a plus
• Curious, proactive, and happy taking ownership in a growing team

Why Join

• High-impact role with clear ownership
• dbt-focused position for someone who enjoys analytics engineering work
• Small, supportive team with autonomy and trust
• Opportunity to shape how analytics is delivered across the business
• Brand new build out in Belfast - be part of the founding team!
• Remote first company - with office if preference to go in.
