About the role

As an Analytics Engineer, you’ll be a key early member of our data function, responsible for building and evolving the analytics foundations that power product decision-making across the company. You’ll work closely with Product, Analytics, and Engineering to turn raw product data into trusted, well-defined datasets, metrics, and data products that scale with the business.

You’ll own the principles behind how we model data for self-serve and AI use cases, balancing speed with data quality and long-term maintainability. This includes designing models and metric foundations that are robust to change, easy to reason about, and suitable for both human and machine consumption.

What you’ll be doing

  • Partner with Product, Analytics, and Engineering to understand data needs and translate ambiguous questions into clear, scalable data models

  • Define, build, and maintain core dbt models that transform raw product data into canonical, well-documented datasets

  • Own metric definitions and transformation logic to ensure consistency, accuracy, and trust across reporting and analysis

  • Establish and uphold data quality standards, testing, and expectations around freshness and reliability

  • Work closely with Product Analysts to enable faster, higher-quality insights and decision-making

  • Support data consumption in tools like Amplitude and Omni, ensuring data is intuitive and easy to self-serve

  • Act as a subject-matter expert for analytics engineering, guiding best practices and helping others solve data problems

  • Contribute to shaping the future direction of our data stack as product complexity and scale increase

About the setup

  • ⚒️ Stack: dbt, Snowflake, Amplitude, Omni

  • 🌱 Early, high-impact role with real ownership over the analytics layer

  • 🤝 Highly collaborative environment with product- and data-savvy stakeholders

  • 🚀 Outcome-focused team where pragmatism and impact matter more than process

We’d love to hear from you if

  • You have 6+ years of experience in analytics engineering or data engineering, ideally in product-led or high-growth environments

  • You have strong hands-on experience with dbt and enjoy designing modular, scalable, and well-tested data models

  • You write advanced, performant, and maintainable SQL

  • You can translate business and product requirements into robust data pipelines and metrics

  • You have a strong product mindset and understand how data and metrics influence product direction

  • You’re comfortable operating across the stack and taking ownership end to end when needed

  • You care deeply about data quality, clarity, and trust

  • You’re outcome-driven and can clearly articulate the impact your work has had on teams or the business

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.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

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