About the Role
We're looking for a Staff Analytics Engineer to own the analytical foundation for our US Loans team, the fastest-growing area of the business.

You’ll operate with a high degree of ownership, helping shape the modelling layer, improving how analysts work with data, and ensuring our warehouse remains a strategic asset for the business.

- Acting as a bridge between analysts, backend engineers, product teams, and the data platform team to make sure data is generated, modelled, and used effectively.
- Identifying opportunities to improve the efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of our transformation pipeline over time.
- Scaling our data infrastructure to proactively support the requirements of a rapidly growing business.
Requirements
