We run a lean team on a modern data stack - Snowflake, Airflow, Kleene, DBT and Sigma.\nWe're looking for an analytics engineer to own that stack end-to-end: how pipelines get built and maintained, how AI is used within them, how analysis reaches the exec team, and how the wider business self-serves answers.\nWhat we’re looking for:\nThis is a single-owner technical role. You will own the warehouse, the transformation layer, the orchestration and the analytics surface the business consumes, and you will shape how they evolve. No data team above you to escalate design decisions to. You will partner closely with the commercial, marketing, and operations leads to turn their questions into insight that is actually executable.\nThat autonomy is the point. You need to be highly self-motivated, comfortable making architecture calls on your own judgement, and willing to fix problems rather than route them.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Own the data stack\nWarehouse & modelling: Own the ELT process end-to-end - modelling, testing, documentation, cost and performance management.\nOrchestration: Own orchestration and ensure pipelines are reliable, timely, and accurate. \nSource integration: Maintain and extend extraction and loading from any new source.\nData quality: Build the tests and checks that mean decisions aren't made on broken numbers.\n2. Own the analytics stack\nBI layer strategy: Own the decision on how Swoon delivers analytics. Assess whether our current BI layer is the right long-term solution. You will be expected to recommend Swoon's BI future with evidence and own the consequences.\nSelf-service: Further improve our self-serve analytics for our non-technical colleagues across commercial, operations and marketing to get answers without routing every question through you.\n3. Drive AI adoption\nAI in the data workflow: Use AI tooling to compress the cost of analysis, transformation development, documentation and QA. Review the current standard and where it can't be trusted.\nAI enablement across the business: Work with function leads to identify where AI removes manual work - ops reconciliation, customer service triage, content generation, supplier admin - and build or specify the tooling. You are the technical enabler.\nRequirements\nTrack record: Demonstrable experience building and running a production analytics stack. Strong SQL and Python skills, plus Snowflake and orchestration (Airflow or equivalent).\nAI fluency: Hands-on experience using AI tools in a real workflow.\nSelf-direction: You set your own roadmap, prioritise against commercial impact, and deliver without supervision.\nCommunication: You can explain a technical constraint to a non-technical stakeholder and push back on a bad request without damaging the relationship.\nBenefits\nCompensation\nCompetitive salary\nShare options programme\nProfit share scheme\nWellbeing allowance\nGenerous pension scheme\nPrivate medical cover for you and your family\nHolidays, working environment and other perks\n27 days holiday rising to 30 with tenure\nFour months of summer hours finishing at 1 PM on a Friday\nFree furniture on each anniversary of employment \nFriends & family discount of 20%\nFully remote working \nFrequent meet-ups, in-person workshops and socials","description_format":"text","description_chars":3345,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T12:11:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":23,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.508,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:6","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/swooneditions-analytics-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/swooneditions-analytics-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T04:24:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6476,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":692864},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=692864"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fswooneditions-analytics-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fswooneditions-analytics-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fswooneditions-analytics-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/swooneditions-analytics-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fswooneditions-analytics-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":818774}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"swooneditions.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":818774},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
