About The Role

We are hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to take ownership of our curated, business ready data layer. 

This role sits between data engineering and analytics. You'll transform staged data into trusted, well modelled datasets and semantic layers that directly support decision making across the business. 

This is not a pipeline heavy infrastructure role. It is about data modelling, data quality and analytical usability. 

You will own the Gold or Service layer and ensure what reaches Power BI is consistent, performant and genuinely trusted. 

What you’ll be doing

- Design and maintain scalable dimensional models and high-performing Gold layers optimized for Power BI

- Define data grains, relationships, and historization strategies to translate business requirements into documented models

- Act as data gatekeeper by profiling datasets and implementing validation rules to ensure accuracy and consistency

- Collaborate with engineers to resolve quality issues and maintain integrity across the data pipeline

- Build optimized, reusable semantic layers to standardize metrics and eliminate duplication across reporting tools

- Partner with analysts to ensure data models are intuitive, performant, and aligned with end-user needs (Commercial, Finance, Operations etc)

What you’ll bring to the team

- Deep SQL expertise, including complex transformations, window functions and performance tuning in a cloud environment 

- Proven experience designing analytical or data warehouse models 

- Strong dimensional modelling knowledge such as Kimball approaches, star schemas and aggregates 

- Hands on ownership of curated data layers used by the business 

- Strong understanding of data quality, profiling and validation techniques

Nice to haves

- Experience with Databricks or similar platforms 

- Familiarity with Delta Lake and lakehouse patterns 

- Python for analysis, profiling or orchestration logic 

- Exposure to Azure data services such as ADF or Azure SQL
