Information about the position

We are looking for an Area Lead Analytics Engineer to provide strategic technical leadership and shape the long-term direction of analytics engineering across the Revenue, Purchase, and Orders domains.

In this role, you will act as a technical lead across multiple domains, helping build a scalable, reliable, cost-efficient, and future-proof data ecosystem.

This is a highly technical Individual Contributor role for someone who enjoys balancing hands‑on engineering with strategic architectural leadership.

You will define architectural standards, strengthen data modeling practices, reduce systemic complexity, and ensure that data products and pipelines are built for sustainable evolution.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to drive strategic technical change and consistency that scales in the wider data science and analytics function.

You will work with a talented team of analytics engineers, Data Scientists, Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and other technical stakeholders and will sit at the intersection of hands‑on technical leadership, architectural governance, strategic direction‑setting, and cross‑domain enablement.

• In this position, you’ll
• Set the long-term technical direction for analytics engineering across the Revenue, Purchase, and Orders domains.

• Communicate architectural decisions, standards, and long-term implications clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

About you

You are an experienced Analytics Engineer, Data Engineer, or technical IC who enjoys building data systems that are not only technically strong, but also understandable, maintainable, and useful for the teams who rely on them.

• Strong strategic and systems‑thinking mindset, with the ability to spot dependencies, intersections, long‑term risks, and repeated patterns across complex business areas.
• Ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams or domains without relying only on formal authority.
• Comfort working with ambiguity and translating complex problems into clear technical direction, standards, and next steps.
• Ability to balance local delivery needs with long‑term architectural integrity and DSA-wide impact.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain architectural trade‑offs, technical decisions, and strategic priorities clearly.
• A collaborative mentoring mindset and a passion for raising the technical bar for other ICs.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
