Analytics Engineering Lead

The RoleThis is a foundational analytics engineering position within a data platform team that sits at the center of the business. The work involves building and maintaining the data infrastructure, pipelines, and self-service tooling that analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders rely on daily. The team is building out its analytics engineering function from the ground up, which means real ownership and direct influence over how data flows across the organization.

This role is based in Barcelona, Spain. Relocation assistance is available. The working model is hybrid with two days per week in the office.

What The Work Looks Like Day To Day

• Design, build, and maintain reliable, tested, and well documented ETL and ELT pipelines and DBT models
• Work with stakeholders across the business to understand data needs and translate them into high quality, reusable data products
• Identify gaps and improvement areas across the data ecosystem and shape the analytics engineering roadmap
