Analytics Engineer

Would you like to help build a world-class data and analytics engineering organisation in one of the UK’s fastest-growing technology consultancies? We’re looking for outstanding analytics engineers who want to combine their passion for data with their expertise in engineering, to deliver the next generation of data solutions for our clients.

Credera helps organisations solve their biggest, most challenging data problems. We’ve created digital banks from scratch on AWS, delivered streaming analytics solutions that protect the country and built massively scalable data platforms for some of the world’s biggest companies. We do all this in a work environment where regular social events, inclusivity and an ego-free culture mean we’ve been officially voted a “Great Place to Work” for five years in a row. 

We draw on our reputation for outstanding delivery to allow our engineers to do the right thing for our clients, and not necessarily the easy thing. Innovation is in our DNA, and we encourage our engineers and consultants to work together to rethink conventional wisdom on how problems should be solved.

Requirements

Here’s what you will do

In this role, you’ll:

• Work with our clients to understand their businesses and their needs and build compelling data products that support a range of stakeholders, including analysts, data scientists and marketers, via analytic datasets and decision automation

• Bring the principles of agile software development to your work, creating sustainable, reusable self-serve data products that deliver high-quality data and are easy to maintain and extend
• Discover and assess a broad range of datasets to address our clients’ needs, and uncover insights within the data using a variety of techniques such as clustering and predictive modelling
• Work with architects, platform and data engineers to operationalise and scale data product to support hundreds or thousands of users
• Work across a variety of public and private cloud data platforms, especially AWS, Azure and GCP, and grow the breadth and depth of your skills on these platforms
• Have the opportunity to spend a day a week working on a combination of internal products and your own development

Hours

This is a permanent role within our Technology function.  We consider flexible ways of working, that allow the best outcomes for our people and clients.  Working closely with our clients is key to successful outcomes, and so travel both UK and international is a requirement. 

Responsibilities

As an Engineer at Credera, you will spend roughly 80% of your time on client work, solving interesting problems, with the remainder of your time spent working on internal projects and I.P. as well as training and development.
