Senior Analytics Engineer

We are looking for a senior analytics engineer who combines strong technical judgement with the ability to operate autonomously in a complex, customer-facing environment.

You will be comfortable turning ambiguous business and domain problems into well-designed, reliable data products. You can move between detailed, hands-on engineering work and higher-level conversations about customer needs, architecture and priorities. You are also able to influence stakeholders and establish effective ways of working without relying on formal authority.

As the first person in this role, you will be motivated by the opportunity to create something new, while recognising when to reuse and build upon the standards, tools and expertise that already exist across Kraken.

Demonstrated analytics engineering or related data experience, including ownership of complex work from discovery through to production.

Advanced SQL and dbt skills, supported by strong data-modelling principles and experience building maintainable, well-tested and reusable models.

Experience building production-quality data pipelines using Python and modern cloud data warehouse or lakehouse technologies.

Strong engineering practices, including version control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD and an understanding of data quality and reliability.

Ability to collaborate effectively across Product, Engineering, Analytics and client-facing teams, explaining complex data concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

Ability to work autonomously, navigate ambiguity and influence others while balancing immediate delivery with maintainability, scalability and reuse.

We run a modern cloud data platform using key technologies such as:

Postgres source databases

AWS cloud infrastructure

Databricks Delta Lake for data lake and warehouse storage and querying

DBT for data modelling and transformations

Python as main scripting language

Airflow for task scheduling

Kubernetes for orchestration

Github, Circle CI for version control, deployment and monitoring

Experience in energy, utilities or other regulated industries

Experience supporting customer data migrations, system implementations or enterprise transformation programmes.

Familiarity with AWS, Airflow, Kubernetes and CircleCI.
