Why is a Senior Analytics Engineer important at Busuu?

Busuu is a deeply data-driven business. Every team, from Product to Marketing to Finance, relies on access to clean, timely, and actionable data. As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you will play a critical role in structuring that data, ensuring it's accessible, governed, and empowers teams across the business to make better decisions faster.

You’ll sit at the intersection of Data Engineering and Product Analytics, owning the transformation layer that turns raw data into trusted, scalable models for self-serve insights and operational dashboards.

We’re also actively using AI tools to enhance development workflows and exploring new AI-powered solutions to improve our product experience and internal efficiency. As an Analytics Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to this innovation by building the data foundations that support our AI initiatives.

What you’ll do

Design and maintain clean, scalable, and well-documented data models that serve as sources of truth for analytics and reporting

Act as the bridge between data engineering and data consumers, ensuring data is well-governed, accessible, and aligned to business needs.

Ensure data quality through rigorous validation, and testing

Optimise and maintain data pipelines to balance performance, reliability, and cost.

Communicate clearly across teams, proactively sharing updates, writing documentation, and surfacing trade-offs or blockers.

Contribute to a culture of learning—reviewing code, sharing knowledge, and helping raise the bar on best practices across the data team.

Our stack

We use AWS, Redshift, dbt, as our main tools, supported by several others. We're pragmatic and open-minded, and invest in new tools when needed. We also integrate modern AI tools such as Cursor into our workflows to boost quality, speed up development, and avoid the boring work to free up time for innovation.

You’ll thrive in this role if you;

Have a strong foundation in data modeling and a passion for enabling others through trusted data.

Understand how to write clean, efficient SQL and build production-grade data transformations.

Value autonomy and ownership, but know when to collaborate.

Have excellent communication skills, especially when explaining data choices to non-technical stakeholders.

Are excited by scale, complexity, and the opportunity to make an impact at a global level.

Are curious about AI and want to contribute to innovative, data-driven product development.
