We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer to join giffgaff’s Data Engineering team and help shape the next chapter of our data platform. Having recently completed a major transformation from a legacy warehouse to a modern stack (Snowflake, dbt, Argo Workflows and Kafka), we now have strong foundations in place - and the opportunity to really maximise the value we deliver. In this role, you’ll design and build scalable, high-quality data pipelines and models that power analytics, experimentation and decision-making across the business, working at the intersection of data engineering and analytics.
Product analytics sits at the heart of this role. You’ll partner closely with Product, Data Science, BI and Engineering teams to enable self-serve analytics, support data-driven product development, and ensure meaningful, reliable insights are always available. At giffgaff, we build and own the technology we use, from APIs and events to microservices and data models, giving you real influence over how solutions are designed and delivered. We’re proud of our inclusive, supportive culture and are committed to helping everyone grow - because great data products are built by diverse teams who feel empowered to do their best work.
