Analytics Engineer
Location: London-based with a hybrid model (2 days per week in the office).
About the Team
At Bauer Media Audio, our Data & Decision Sciences (DDS) team is at the heart of driving data-led decisions across nine European markets. We transform data into actionable insights that power business growth, enhance audience engagement, and improve operational efficiency. Working collaboratively across functions, we treat data as a strategic partner—not just a support function.
About the Role
We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer to join our Data Enablement team. In this role, you’ll turn raw data into well-structured, business-ready models that enable reliable reporting and analytics. You’ll work with modern tools like dbt, Snowflake, and BI platforms such as Looker, Power BI, and Tableau to create a semantic layer that ensures consistent metrics and insights.
This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong business focus. You’ll collaborate with Data Engineers, DevOps, and business stakeholders to modernize our data estate and deliver high-quality, trusted data solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build dimensional data models and marts using dbt and Kimball principles.
- Develop and maintain dbt pipelines for transforming raw data into gold-layer marts.
- Define and maintain a semantic layer for consistent metrics across BI tools.
- Contribute to the migration from Redshift/BigQuery to Snowflake.
- Implement data quality checks using dbt tests and Great Expectations.
- Collaborate in agile squads, participate in code reviews, and maintain documentation.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Have Skills
- Strong SQL skills (Redshift or BigQuery experience; Snowflake preferred).
- Hands-on experience with dbt (models, tests, production environments).
- Solid understanding of dimensional modelling (Kimball-style).
- Familiarity with semantic layer design and BI tools (Looker, Power BI).
- Practical Python experience for data engineering tasks.
- Agile team experience (Jira, Confluence) and Git-based workflows.
- Cloud experience (ideally AWS).
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Advanced Snowflake experience.
- Exposure to Airflow, Great Expectations, and dbt-expectations.
- Familiarity with Tableau and multi-tool BI environments.
- Knowledge of CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
- Industry experience in media, digital audiences, or subscription businesses.
