• Build and maintain the insights layer on top of governed domains, producing reusable KPI models, funnels, cohorts, and segmentations that Product, Commercial, and AI teams can self-serve with confidence
• Implement technical improvements including incremental processing strategies, performance optimisations, and scalable data architecture to support growing data volumes
• Contribute to SumUp's broader data domain strategy, helping establish durable ownership, consistent definitions, and a shared catalogue of data products

What you'll need

• Strong, proven experience in analytics engineering or data engineering, with a track record of building and maintaining production data systems
• Expert-level SQL skills for complex transformations and query optimisation, with hands-on experience building layered data models in a modern data warehouse or lakehouse and solid command of dbt
• Ability to think in terms of business domains — translating complex business logic into clean, durable, and reusable data models
• Comfort working across squads with Product Managers, Engineers, Analysts, and Data Scientists, contributing to data design conversations
• Deep care for data quality, trust, and discoverability — building models others can rely on with proactive mindset around contracts and observability
