Role
Who you are
- We already have strong foundations - modern tooling, a highly capable team and a company culture that is deeply data-driven
- 4+ years in a high-performing data team, preceded by a STEM degree from a top university
- Strong SQL and dbt expertise essential, with Python knowledge a good addition. Experience with ETL tools and standard data visualisation tools helpful too
- Exposure to fast-paced development culture and environment, ideally within consumer-facing or subscription products
- An intense attention to detail and a passion for building reliable, scalable systems. Also, by setting and enforcing high standards within your domain, both for yourself and wider team members
- The desire to scale, efficient and sustainable data solutions, while keeping up-to-date with analytics engineering best practices and emerging tools
What the job involves
- Raylo’s Strategy & Analytics team sits at the heart of the business, powering decisions with fast, reliable and scalable data. As Raylo expands across new partners, new verticals, and into new geographies, the volume, complexity and strategic importance of data continues to grow
- We’re looking for an ambitious analytics engineer to lead our analytics platform, an increasingly critical element of our infrastructure

- You’ll partner closely with our existing data science team and the wider analytics team to evolve our platform from a solid foundation into a best-in-class system that supports Raylo’s ambitions
- In the short term, your work will remove operational bottlenecks, reduce single points of failure, and improve data availability and latency
- This will put you at the heart of decision-making across every part of the business. Longer term, you will define and deliver the strategic architecture that enables Raylo to scale: supporting new product launches, international expansion, advanced ML capabilities, deep funnel optimisation, fraud modelling, and more. This role is foundational to Raylo’s ability to achieve its growth plan
- Take full ownership of dbt models, BigQuery performance, and end-to-end data pipelines. Lead continuous improvement of our data CI/CD processes, developing a best in class analytics infrastructure

- Improve pipeline efficiency, reduce data latency, and build reliable, scalable data structures for analysts and stakeholders
- Be part of a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where innovation is encouraged, and data underpins every decision
- Have the opportunity to accelerate your career through massive exposure at a rapidly scaling UK startup that’s got genuine global ambitions
- Take genuine strategic ownership of Raylo’s analytics platform, developing a multi-year plan for your vision

Our take
As a society, a disposable tech culture has developed, which is both expensive and harmful to the environment. Raylo is offering a more sustainable alternative. Through its subscription platform, consumers and Small to medium-sized businesses can subscribe to new and refurbished devices like phones, tablets and laptops, paying a monthly fee for the length of the contract.
Raylo sets itself apart through affordable device subscriptions, with the option of flexible upgrades. The environmental and economic benefits of device lifecycle extensions are significant, as, despite consumers’ increasing reliance on electronic devices, research from Ofcom indicated that many consumers struggle with the affordability of mobile phones. Raylo's circularity is also an essential part of the move towards more sustainable production practices and the reduction of tech waste.
In 2022, Raylo cemented its status as an actor for good with its recognition as a B-Corporation. The company has also netted considerable funds, which will enable it to expand operations, with plans to grow its direct-to-consumer channel, as well as an expansion of its embedded subscription integrations with some of the world's leading device brands.
