Role Overview

We are partnering with a leading telecom-based organisation seeking a highly skilled Analytics Engineer (AE) to bridge the gap between data engineering and data analysis. This role is central to building clean, scalable, and high-quality data models that deliver reliable insights to business, finance, planning, and commercial teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and maintain scalable, high-quality data models (marts, OBTs, dimensional models) that act as a trusted source of truth.
• Translate business requirements into technical solutions and manage the full development life cycle (build, test, deploy, document).
• Apply and enforce SQL and DBT best practices, including code reviews and CI/CD standards.
• Ensure strong data quality through testing frameworks and proper PII handling (masking, hashing, access control).
• Investigate and resolve data discrepancies across source, transformation, and BI layers.
• Optimise query performance and manage cost efficiency within BigQuery.
• Manage orchestration, scheduling, and environment configurations (dev/prod).
• Communicate model changes and technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Identify, document, and advocate for reduction of technical debt.
• Take ownership of workstreams and drive issues through to resolution independently.

What You Will Ideally Bring:

• Advanced SQL and complex query development.
• Strong data modelling experience (dimensional modelling, marts).
• Hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses, particularly GCP BigQuery.
• Strong DBT (Cloud/Core) expertise.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving capability.
• Ability to trace lineage and debug data flow issues.
