What will I be doing?
As an Analytics Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in architecting the foundation of our global reporting capabilities. Your primary focus over the coming year will be the design and implementation of a high-performance, scalable dimensional model built to serve multiple global clients. This role is not just about moving data; it is about the sophisticated translation of complex schema designs into production-ready SQL. You will be the bridge between abstract data architecture and the high-performance scripts that power our business intelligence.
Key Responsibilities
- Dimensional Model Architecture: Lead the transition to a robust, multi-tenant dimensional model. You will be responsible for ensuring the architecture is scalable enough to onboard several major global clients without compromising performance.
- Expert SQL Development: Translate complex schema designs into high-quality, performant SQL scripts. You will own the logic that transforms raw, disparate data into structured clean tables.
- Global Scalability: Design and optimise data structures that handle high volume and variety, ensuring that our data infrastructure evolves ahead of our expanding international client base.
- Stakeholder Translation: Act as a key technical partner for business stakeholders. You must be able to navigate complex requirements from various departments and translate them into technical specifications and elegant data models.
- Data Integrity & Performance: Rigorously test and optimise SQL queries and data transformations to ensure "single source of truth" reliability and lightning-fast query response times for end-users.
Candidate Profile
Must-Haves
- Advanced SQL Mastery: You are an expert in writing, tuning, and debugging complex SQL. You understand window functions, CTEs, and query execution plans inside and out.
- Stakeholder Management: Proven ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences and manage competing priorities from multiple business units.
- Engineering Mindset: A focus on writing clean, modular, and reusable code.
Nice-to-Haves
- Data Modelling Expertise: Practical experience with Star Schema and Kimball methodologies.
- Modern Data Stack: Experience using Databricks for processing and dbt for transformation workflows.
- Global Delivery: Experience building data products designed for multi-region or multi-client environments.
