Analytics Engineer

C&W Services (S); Greater London; Vor Ort; GBP 70.000 - 100.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

C&W Services (S) is seeking an Analytics Engineer to advance our lakehouse with Databricks across EMEA & APAC. You will turn commercial questions into semantic models and curated datasets, collaborating with data engineers and business stakeholders to scale assets and enable AI-led delivery.

The role emphasizes building scalable data architectures, governance-aligned models, and actionable insights for executive decision-making. A strong SQL and BI background is essential.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, or a related quantitative discipline.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in a data engineering, analytics engineering, or BI development role.
• Strong hands-on experience with Databricks or an equivalent enterprise data platform (Azure Synapse, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake).
• Proficiency in SQL and experience building and optimising semantic or data models at scale, including window functions and complex business logic.
• Solid understanding of data modelling principles - star schema, dimensional modelling, DAX.
• Experience with Power BI and the Microsoft Power Platform, including building on top of central/curated data models.
• Familiarity with data pipeline concepts, transformation logic, and ETL/ELT processes.
• Working understanding of how data

Aufgaben

• Design, build, and maintain semantic models and curated datasets on the Databricks platform, ensuring they are performant, reusable, and aligned with governance standards.
• Act as the technical bridge between the central Data Engineering team and transformation/business stakeholders, translating ambiguous business questions into structured data models.
• Build and maintain automation/AI-readiness scoring frameworks - turning taxonomy and process data into structured, defensible metrics used in executive business cases.
• Produce the quantitative backbone of transformation business cases: current-state baselines, savings and benefit tracking, scenario/what-if models, and before/after comparisons.
• Standardise datasets and business logic so that transformation workstreams build consistently on a shared foundation rather than one-off extracts.
• Collaborate with the data engineering team on the design of upstream data assets, ensuring they meet the requirements of scalable, transformation-facing analytics.
• Contribute to data assets and pipelines that are structured to support AI, machine learning, and agentic workflows - increasingly the default mode of delivery rather than a side project.
• Monitor and optimise the performance of data models and semantic layers, proactively identifying and resolving data quality issues before they reach executive reporting.
• Support platform adoption through documentation, standards, and knowledge transfer, contributing to best practices for data modelling, naming conventions, and dataset architecture.
• Participate in peer reviews of data models to ensure consistency and quality before release into business-critical decks and workbooks.

Job Title Analytics Engineer

Job Description Summary

Analytics Engineer | Databricks | Agentic AI | EMEA & APAC

We lead the data transformation of our EMEA and APAC business, and we are looking for an Analytics Engineer to join us.

Our lakehouse platform is mature and well established. It is built on Databricks and already runs the business end to end. What comes next is the harder part, putting agentic capability to work at real enterprise scale and across a wide range of domains.

You will take on problems nobody has written the playbook for, make calls that matter, and build depth across several domains early enough to shape where the platform goes next. Very few organisations in our sector have started this work, so you will pick up a skill set you would struggle to find anywhere else in this industry.

You will sit between data engineering and the business. That means turning commercial questions into semantic models, curated datasets and reusable data assets that leaders across EMEA and APAC rely on, working with our engineers on the upstream design that keeps those assets scaling, and getting them ready for agentic and AI-led delivery. If you want work that carries real weight, we would like to hear from you.
