Analytics Engineering at Capital On Tap 🚀
The Analytics Engineering team’s mission is to provide the organisation with seamless access to high-quality, observable, and well-documented data. We own and evolve our modern data stack, including Snowflake, dbt, and Omni, to empower teams from Finance to Commercial with self-serve data tools. 

What You’ll Be Doing 🗃️

• Lead and manage a team of 4-6 Analytics Engineers, overseeing hiring, performance reviews, and career development.
• Motivate the team, remove technical blockers, and track performance to ensure delivery accountability.
• Collaborate with Business Leads to align data strategy with wider business objectives.
• Stay hands-on in the data stack, guiding the team on complex dbt modeling and scalable architecture.
• Shape data product decisions and establish coding standards to maintain high-quality, production-grade data assets.

Our Values & Culture 🌞

• Just Pilot: We never settle for “good enough”. We pilot new ideas fast, ask questions to figure it out, and scale quickly.
• Why Not Today? Fast is as slow as we go - speed and simplicity gives us a competitive advantage.
• Be a Buddy: We tap in from day one to help the team, we do the right thing even if it’s hard.
• Owners and Dates: We don’t chase people. If you own a task and agree to a date, the expectation is that it gets done.
• Feedback: We want our employees to flourish, so we regularly provide direct and constructive feedback.

We’re Looking For 🔎

• Proven experience managing and developing engineers, including performance management and mentorship. 
• Extensive experience with the modern data stack, specifically a cloud data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery) - dbt and data observability tools preferable. 
• Expert SQL skills and a deep understanding of scalable data modeling approaches like Kimball. 
• Ability to manage cross-functional projects, collaborating effectively with Product, Commercial, and Engineering. 
• Experience defining and delivering against a team roadmap while balancing tech debt and business priorities. 
• Dedicated to maintaining high code quality through comprehensive testing and robust CI/CD practices.

Even if you don’t have all of the necessary skills, we still encourage you to apply.
