Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Own the data platform roadmap: transformation, semantic layer, orchestration, and the tooling that makes the team fast
  • Lead and grow a team of senior analytics engineers, setting technical standards and creating space for them to do their best work
  • Partner with Engineering to define contracts and expectations for how data is produced at source
  • Set the self-serve strategy: make data accessible to analysts, PMs, and operators without bottlenecking on your team
  • Extend the platform for automated and AI-driven systems: Ensure data is structured for programmatic action, with an uncompromising focus on accuracy and observability so that agents act on a foundation of absolute trust.
  • Own strategy for emerging data types: unstructured data, telematics, real-time signals
  • Represent the platform in leadership discussions, translating technical constraints into business terms

Requirements

  • You've led analytics engineering or data platform teams before, and you're comfortable with both the technical depth and the people leadership
  • You're a player-coach: you can review a dbt PR, debug a performance issue, and then context-switch to a prioritisation discussion with a VP
  • You think in systems: how data flows, where quality breaks down, what contracts need to exist between teams
  • You're pragmatic about standards. You know when to enforce and when to flex
  • You're comfortable with strong individual contributors and can create alignment without micromanaging
  • You've worked in environments where data powers not just dashboards but automated systems
  • You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and you're not afraid to push back when the platform's integrity is at stake.
Benefits
  • Generous equity, richer than 99% of European startups, with annual top-ups to share Relay’s success.
  • Private health & dental coverage, so comprehensive you’d need to be a partner at a Magic Circle law firm to match it.
  • 25 days of holidays
  • Enhanced parental leave.
  • Hardware of your choice.
  • Extensive perks (gym subsidies, cycle-to-work, Friday office lunch, covered Uber home and dinner for late nights, and more).
