Lead Analytics Engineer

Ready to shape how data is modeled, governed, and used across an entire platform?

We’re looking for a Lead Analytics Engineer to help build and scale a modern data platform and drive analytics across Croatia, Slovenia, and Bulgaria.

This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and governance – owning data models, KPI logic, and standards that power reporting and future AI/ML use cases.


What you’ll do:

  • Design, build, and maintain orchestration workflows using Airflow
  • Develop and optimize curated and serving-layer models using dbt
  • Perform data transformations including cleaning, deduplication, pattern recognition, and schema harmonization
  • Build dimensional models, marts, and KPI logic for reporting and advanced analytics
  • Define and maintain KPI definitions, business glossary standards, and semantic consistency across data products
  • Configure and optimize datasets in BigQuery for analytical workloads
  • Implement data quality and governance controls, including automated tests, lineage validation, and metadata standards
  • Establish and improve end-to-end testing frameworks for pipelines and transformations
  • Partner with upstream and downstream teams to ensure reliable, well-documented, high-quality data delivery
  • Support BI, analytics, and data science teams with trusted datasets and reusable data assets

What you bring:

  • Strong experience with SQL and modern analytical platforms, especially BigQuery
  • Hands-on experience with dbt (models, tests, macros, documentation, layered architecture)
  • Proven experience building and maintaining workflows in Airflow or similar orchestration tools
  • Strong Python skills for data processing, automation, and testing
  • Solid understanding of dimensional modeling, KPI design, and analytical transformation patterns
  • Experience implementing data quality, governance, and metadata standards in production
  • Familiarity with Git-based workflows and CI/CD practices
  • Ability to translate business requirements into scalable, well-structured data models

Nice to have:

  • Experience with real-time or near-real-time analytics environments
  • Exposure to semantic modeling and business glossary design
  • Experience with GCP and cloud-based analytics tooling
  • Familiarity with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar
  • Exposure to advanced analytics or ML-enablement use cases

What we offer:

  • Flexible working (hybrid/remote)
  • Learning & development opportunities
  • Strong ownership and impact on data strategy
  • Modern tech stack & high-impact projects

If you enjoy turning data into trusted, scalable products and want to lead analytics standards across markets – we’d love to hear from you.
