Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Analytics Engineer to design and build scalable analytical data models that support business intelligence, reporting and commercial analytics.

The role sits within a multidisciplinary data team responsible for delivering trusted analytical data products used across commercial and marketing teams.

The ideal candidate will combine strong analytical thinking with advanced SQL engineering capability, and will have experience designing analytics-ready datasets used by BI tools or semantic layers. This is not a pipeline engineering role; we are looking for someone experienced in building analytical data models that define consistent business metrics and enable self-service analytics.

Key Responsibilities

Analytical Data Modelling

Design and implement scalable analytical data models in SQL used by BI tools and analytics platforms.

Build datasets that support consistent business metrics, reporting and analysis.

Implement modelling approaches such as star schemas, denormalised analytical tables and reusable metric layers.Data Analysis & Profiling

Profile complex datasets to understand data structure, quality and business meaning.

Investigate and interpret source data to inform robust analytical modelling decisions.

Translate business questions into well-structured analytical datasets.SQL Engineering

Develop robust SQL transformations to convert raw source data into trusted analytical assets.

Ensure analytical models are scalable, performant and maintainable within a cloud data warehouse.

Optimise SQL logic for performance and efficient data processing.Collaboration

Work closely with analysts, visualisation developers, data engineers and business stakeholders.

Contribute to the development of reusable data assets and consistent analytical definitions.

Support the evolution of the organisation's analytics data layer and self-service reporting capability.Essential Skills

Advanced SQL skills with experience engineering complex analytical transformations.

Proven experience building analytical data models used by BI tools or reporting platforms.

Experience designing analytics-ready datasets rather than ingestion pipelines.

Strong experience with cloud data warehouse platforms (preferably Google BigQuery / GCP).

Strong data analysis and data profiling capability with the ability to interpret complex datasets.

Experience implementing analytical modelling approaches such as star schemas or wide tables.Desirable Skills

Experience working with semantic layers or metrics layers (e.g. Looker / LookML).

Experience designing consistent business metrics used across reporting and analytics.

Python experience for data analysis, automation or advanced analytics workflows.

Exposure to AI-enabled analytics tools or modern data workflows.

Experience working in commercial or marketing analytics environments.

Telecommunications or subscription business experience would be advantageous.

If you're excited about application security, identity management, and creating robust, secure solutions for modern architectures, we want to hear from you!

Please apply with a copy of your CV or send it to Prasanna . merugu @ randstaddigital . com and let's start the conversation!

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
