Raylo’s Strategy & Analytics team sits at the heart of the business, powering decisions with fast, reliable and scalable data. As Raylo expands across new partners, new verticals, and into new geographies, the volume, complexity and strategic importance of data continues to grow. We already have strong foundations - modern tooling, a highly capable team and a company culture that is deeply data-driven. We’re looking for an ambitious analytics engineer to lead our analytics platform, an increasingly critical element of our infrastructure.

You’ll take immediate ownership of the analytics stack (dbt, BigQuery, Looker, Airbyte and more). You will ensure that data is clean, reliable, well-structured and delivered at speed. Your work will unblock analysts and the wider business, increase the scale of data we can process and improve the stability and performance of our pipelines. You’ll partner closely with our existing data science team and the wider analytics team to evolve our platform from a solid foundation into a best-in-class system that supports Raylo’s ambitions.

In the short term, your work will remove operational bottlenecks, reduce single points of failure, and improve data availability and latency. This will put you at the heart of decision-making across every part of the business. Longer term, you will define and deliver the strategic architecture that enables Raylo to scale: supporting new product launches, international expansion, advanced ML capabilities, deep funnel optimisation, fraud modelling, and more. This role is foundational to Raylo’s ability to achieve its growth plan.
