Lead Analytics Engineer
Hybrid, London
About the company
Our client is a well known consumer technology business with a platform used by millions of people. The data team is part way through a big modernisation programme. They are rebuilding the warehouse and moving from an older ETL tool onto dbt and a modern stack.
About the role
This is a new position and the first technical lead in the data engineering team. The team is small and learning dbt as they go, so they need someone who knows it inside out and can bring everyone else up to speed. You will own the dbt models and the semantic layer, decide how things get built, and coach the rest of the team, from experienced engineers through to analysts who have never touched dbt.
Beyond the dbt work stream, you will also be sign and mend the day-to-day technical owner of the warehouse, reviewing sign and mend designs and code across the team and working closely with the analytics, data science and platform teams.
