Analytics Engineer

Who you are

• Experience as an analytics engineer or BI developer, building models in dbt on a cloud data warehouse
• Use AI coding agents daily for SQL, dbt models, tests and documentation; know how to verify their output and understand how semantic layers make AI answers reliable
• Excellent SQL and data modelling, including dimensional models and metrics or semantic layers
• Experience with a BI tool such as Metabase, Omni, Looker or Power BI, and with enabling non-technical users
• Business sense: understand SaaS metrics like ARR, churn and expansion, and turn questions into data
• Clear communication and patience in getting stakeholders to agree on one definition

What the job involves

• We are hiring an Analytics Engineer to join our new BI / Data team. This role is an opportunity to turn raw data into the trusted metrics and self-service analytics that every team at Xelix, from Finance to Product, uses to make decisions. The team is building AI-native so that a small team can deliver trusted metrics in weeks rather than quarters. Whether you are an experienced mid-level engineer ready for broader ownership or already operating at senior level, you will have real influence on how Xelix defines and uses its data
• Model clean, joined tables in dbt for customers, contracts, usage, product outcomes, support, revenue and cost
• Work AI-native from day one: AI coding agents draft models, tests and documentation, while you own definitions, review and quality
• Own the metrics layer: create one tested definition each for ARR, customer retention, realised customer value, touchless rate and cost to serve, with a first version in use within your first six weeks
• Move existing Metabase and customer review reporting onto governed models, and retire duplicate dashboards together with their owners
• Enable Finance, RevOps, Commercial, Product, Engineering and Services to self-serve, including plain-language analytics on top of the metrics layer, and help choose our analytics tooling
• Agree definitions with business owners and document them so people and AI tools read them the same way
