Analytics Engineer (Problem-Solver in Data)

We are looking for a data analyst who is passionate about turning data into practical solutions that drive real business impact. This role goes beyond building pipelines — it's about understanding business needs, translating them into analytical questions, and delivering insights that shape decisions.

You'll work closely with product teams, stakeholders, and other analysts to design processes that make data more usable, reliable, and insightful. You'll also contribute to machine learning initiatives and help shape how data is used across the organisation.

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, whether you think of yourself as an analyst, engineer, data practitioner, applied scientist, or technical problem-solver, even if you don't tick every box, we would love to hear from you.

• Partnering with stakeholders to refine requirements and find practical solutions, not just technical ones.
• Clear communication skills, you can explain data concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A problem-solving mindset: you care more about delivering value and insights with openness to learn and grow in a supportive team environment, than sticking to one rigid way of working.
• Designing, building, and maintaining automated data pipelines using Python and SQL across platforms like Databricks, Google BigQuery, and Airflow.
• Creating reliable ways to bring in data from APIs and external sources, with a focus on scalability and security.
• Designing data models and structures that balance performance, usability, and clarity.
• Collaborating with analysts and BI developers to deliver insight-ready data that powers dashboards, analytics, and business decisions.
• Proactively monitoring data quality, resolving issues, and contributing to governance through documentation, testing, and continuous improvement.

• Strong skills in Python and advanced SQL for working with complex datasets.
• Experience with cloud-based data platforms (e.g., BigQuery, Databricks, Airflow) and a willingness to learn new tools.
• Familiarity with ingesting data via APIs and transforming large datasets efficiently and securely.
• Understanding of data modelling and performance optimisation, with an eye for usability.
• Clear communication skills, you can explain data concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A problem-solving mindset: you care more about delivering value and insights with openness to learn and grow in a supportive team environment, than sticking to one rigid way of working.

We're always looking to recognise and reward our employees for the work they do. As a valued member of The AA team, you'll have access to a range of benefits including:

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays + holiday buying scheme
• Worksave pension scheme with up to 7% employer contribution
