Senior Analytics Engineer - Analytics Engineering
Our story - continued commitment to doing the right thing
2005 seems like a long time ago. Simply Business - a small company with a big idea. To transform the way that other small businesses could get the insurance that they need. To reduce time, hassle and jargon wherever possible while introducing the simplicity, choice and value that small businesses are entitled to. To protect them from harm. To keep their livelihoods safe. And to do all this with the promise of positive service. Delivered by happy people, working flexibly, learning constantly. With a restlessly innovative spirit. Within a business committed to doing the right thing. All of the time.
As we’ve grown, we’ve tried hard to keep true to this. To ourselves, to our 800 strong team and to the 3.5m customers that we’ve served so far. And as we move forward, as we enter a big new market, as we grow responsibly, as we improve our products, as we offer our customers more of what they need, of what they deserve, we’ll hold onto the focus of that small company with the big idea. Protecting and serving businesses across the UK and the US. From barbers to bakers, consultants to cleaners, they are the backbone of the economy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
And we’ll continue to stand by them. Bit by bit helping their dreams grow, just like ours.
Why do we need this role?
This role will sit within the global Data and Analytics team (DNA) in Simply Business. DNA has been central to empowering data-driven decision making at SB. We have invested heavily in our data pipeline, data engineering, business intelligence and machine learning capabilities.
The Senior Analytics Engineer is a senior technical role responsible for the design and development of robust analytical data models. These critical data assets act as the authoritative source of truth, feeding systems across Finance, Operations, Marketing, and Enterprise Analytics.
A key responsibility is pioneering AI/ML readiness by championing scalable feature sets and designing low-latency, event-driven data models to support real-time decisions (e.g., dynamic pricing, risk assessment) from quote to claims.
Operating with autonomy, the role requires technical expertise and strategic thinking to set technical standards, mentor junior engineers, and drive best practices in data governance, quality assurance, and documentation.
We are looking for someone with a strong technical background that loves the challenge of working on complex projects in a fast-paced environment.
