About the Role

We're looking for a passionate and pragmatic Analytics Engineer to join our Analytics Engineering team, helping to scale our stack for a new data-driven era at Swap.

This is an important contributor role within the team, offering a good degree of ownership and the chance to help build a scalable, modern data architecture. You’ll build and maintain the data models that power our entire business—from internal commercial insights for Sales and Finance to the trusted data sets enabling customer-facing agentic systems.

We need a hands-on builder excited to contribute to our high-quality dbt project, help shape our analytics vision, and support the scaling of our models as we grow. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative team with high ownership and impact, we'd love to hear from you!

- Data Modelling & Architecture: Contribute to our data modelling strategy, helping to build and maintain the core set of performant, scalable, and trusted data models that power all downstream consumers—from our internal BI tool to our customer-facing agentic systems and analytics APIs.

- Data Quality & Governance: Champion and implement robust data quality standards, PII governance, testing, and documentation to ensure our data is trustworthy and reliable as we scale.

- Stakeholder Partnership: Partner with commercial (Sales, Finance) and product teams on data needs, assisting in translating business questions into data requirements and helping to manage delivery expectations.

- BI & Self-Service Enablement: Contribute to the development and refinement of foundational data assets in our BI tool (Lightdash), helping stakeholders and analysts access insights effectively.

What we would like to see

- Solid experience in a data-focused role such as Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, or BI Development, or equivalent academic experience.

- Hands-on experience with dbt (dbt Core/Cloud).

- Strong proficiency in SQL and good understanding of data modelling patterns.

- Good communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- A detail-oriented mindset with a willingness to learn and contribute to building trustworthy data products.
