Senior Analytics Engineer

About the opportunity

The Analytics Engineering & Governance Enablement (AEGE) team is part of N26's wider Analytics Engineering & Data Governance (AEDG) function. Our function covers the full spectrum from data modelling and transformation through to BI tooling and governance infrastructure that makes all of that work reliable at scale. Our Team AEGE sits at the enabling end of that spectrum: We build the standards and tooling that the broader analytics engineering community depends on, to ship trusted data products.

About the team: we build and operate the infrastructure that enables a cross-functional analytics engineering function to work reliably and at scale. We own the dbt services powering N26's core data warehouse and lakehouse - its CI/CD pipelines, runtime configuration, data quality standards, and the tooling that keeps a broad community of data producers, analytics engineers, data analysts, and data scientists productive. We care deeply about what "good" looks like in data products, and we build the systems and practices that raise that bar across the organisation.
