Analytics Engineer

Your mission as an Analytics Engineer

We are looking for an Analytics Engineer (m/f/d) with strong data engineering skills to join our Data team and help build a scalable, reliable, and well-structured data foundation across Appinio.
In this role, you will design and maintain clean, scalable data models that make data easy to access, understand, and use across the organisation. You will use SQL, dbt, and Python to transform raw data into meaningful datasets, develop automated workflows, and ensure consistency and reliability across our data warehouse.
Beyond data modelling, you will contribute to building, maintaining, and optimising data pipelines and integrations. You will work with APIs, databases, and third-party data sources to ensure reliable data ingestion, troubleshoot pipeline issues, and improve the overall stability and performance of our data infrastructure.
Working closely with Analytics, Product, Engineering, and business teams, you will help define and standardise key business metrics such as revenue, bookings, and churn, ensuring a single source of truth across the company. You will also take ownership of data quality through automated testing, validation, and monitoring across the data lifecycle.
You will explore and leverage AI-powered tools to improve development workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance data engineering and analytics processes. You will also help prepare our data foundation for AI-driven analytics by ensuring that data models, business definitions, and documentation are structured, consistent, and accessible.
You will contribute to documentation, performance optimisation, and the continuous improvement of our data stack, helping us build a robust and scalable data platform that enables teams across Appinio to make faster, more informed decisions.
