You will work in an AI-forward data team, collaborating with product, engineering and finance to turn questions into actionable insights and scalable data solutions across the business.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in Analytics Engineering or Data Engineering, ideally with a strong focus on data warehousing.
• Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with dbt and a cloud data warehouse.
• A solid understanding of data modelling concepts such as dimensional modelling, slowly changing dimensions and incremental patterns.
• Practical Python skills for data work.
• Confidence working with AI-assisted tools, with the judgment to review, validate and improve their output.
• A systematic approach to debugging complex data issues and solving them at the root cause.
• English at C1 level or above, both written and spoken.
• Most importantly: curiosity and ownership mindset to improve how data is modelled, trusted and used across the business.

Responsibilities

• Own the full journey from raw data to business impact: from ingestion and dbt models on AWS to the insights, metrics and AI use cases that run on top of them across thousands of studios.
• Design clean, scalable and reliable data models that both people and AI systems can confidently build on.
• Make data quality part of the architecture through testing, documentation, lineage and governance.
• Partner with Data Engineering on ingestion and pipelines to ensure your models are built on fresh, dependable data.
• Work closely with Product, Engineering and Finance to turn ambiguous business questions into useful, maintainable data products.
• Build with AI at the core: use AI-assisted tooling in your daily workflow, and make our data AI-ready (clear semantics, documentation, lineage) so agents and ML models can use it reliably.
• Grow into financial reporting for Finion Capital, working alongside experienced finance specialists.
