Who are we? Kato is a fast-growing PropTech company, backed by top-tier VCs, investors, and industry experts. Our mission is to revolutionise commercial property through our all-in-one online platform and extensive industry data. We’re just getting started and are seeking dynamic, confident individuals to join our journey and help shape the future of commercial property.
Role overview As Senior Analytics Engineer working in the Data Platform team, you will own the analytics engineering discipline at Kato, shaping the modelling layer that turns our extensive industry data into trusted, self-serve analytics for the whole business. You'll bring strong hands-on technical capability, experience modelling complex domains, and the people skills to successfully educate and promote analytics across the business. You'll continuously raise the bar for analytics practice at Kato, with the scope to shape the discipline as our data function scales.
Responsibilities & expectations
- Expected to raise the bar for data analytics at Kato - setting the standards we build to, and making our data accessible to everyone in the business.
- Expected to translate key business questions into durable, self-serve data assets rather than one-off answers.
- Expected to enable the definition and consistency of core business metrics.
- Responsible for data governance across the modelling layer; quality controls, testing, monitoring, lineage and documentation.
- Responsible for the reliable operation of the transformation layer - troubleshooting failures and reducing their recurrence.
- Responsible for the architecture and workflow of the data modelling layer.
- Responsible for the data contracts either side of the modelling layer; stable interfaces for downstream consumers, managed change from upstream sources.
- Expected to apply software engineering practice to analytics code; version control, automated testing and continuous integration as a default rather than an aspiration.
- Expected to embrace AI assistance throughout your workflow, staying current with developments and experimenting with new technologies as they become available.
