Role
Who you are

- Bring significant hands-on experience with dbt and cloud warehouses: You’ve designed and refactored complex staging, intermediate and mart-layer models in platforms such as BigQuery or Snowflake, and you optimise for clarity, performance and long-term maintainability
- Demonstrate deep SQL expertise: You are highly fluent in SQL, comfortable with complex transformations, window functions and performance optimisation, and able to reason clearly about query plans and trade-offs
- Have strong experience with semantic and BI layers: You have worked extensively with modern semantic or BI platforms (e.g. Omni, Cube or similar), understand how metric definitions propagate across tools, and have owned the design and maintenance of consistent, reliable KPI logic powering self-serve analytics
- Understand ELT and pipeline mechanics: You are comfortable working within modern ELT architectures, collaborating with Data Engineering on ingestion and orchestration, and troubleshooting issues that span from source systems to downstream models
Desirable
- Experienced with orchestration tools such as Dagster or Airflow
- Proficient in Python for automation or tooling around the warehouse
What the job involves
- In this role, you will focus on building and optimizing the core data warehouse, ensuring data quality, accessibility, and performance for a wide range of internal stakeholders

Our take
9fin’s initial aim was to solve the problem of extracting data out of financial documents. It quickly turned to AI, where computer vision tools can be deployed to find key financial data point quickly and automatically.
Its AI tools learn to understand the complicated legal clauses in contracts, automating a lot of the manual work that's usually involve in this space. 9fin also has a team of journalists and analysts who product news and analysis that help make sense of complex situations. The result is an integrated platform that debt capital market professionals can use to make quicker and better investment decisions.
9fin is used by leading banks, hedge funds, and asset managers around the world. The company has seen significant investment, the most recent of which will support the scaling of its team and expansion of its product into new asset classes, as well as helping it to grow its presence in the US, Latin America, and Asia Pacific.

Company values
- Technology doesn't serve the business. Technology is the business: Technology and business are not independent; they are one and the same. We’ve met CEOs who don’t know what language their code is written in and CTOs who don’t know who the customers are. That’s not OK
- Talent trumps experience: We judge people by the quality of their ideas, not the duration of their employment. We’d rather work with people who have spent 12 months being awesome than those who have spent 3 years being average
- Don't know? Say so: Ignorance is only a weakness when you don’t admit it. We’ve seen lots of people waste hours of productivity because they were too afraid to ask for help
- Ship early and often: It’s impossible to design a truly awesome product without customer feedback
- Never settle: The product might have shipped, but it’s never perfect. If we can’t find ways to improve we just aren’t looking hard enough
- Diversity: We don’t discriminate. As well as being an end in itself, varied backgrounds and cultures bring new perspectives and stop group think
- Have an opinion: No decision is off limits to being challenged. Disagreement is healthy, it shows you care
- Beautiful simplicity: If it’s not easy to use, then it’s broken. Consumer applications relentlessly focus on the user with beautiful interfaces and snazzy graphics. There’s no reason why B2B can’t be just as good
- Make time for others: Everyone is busy. But taking 5-10 minutes out of your day to grab a coffee with a colleague who needs advice or help is not too much to ask
- Overcommunicate: Don’t leave people in the dark. It’s better to receive a 10 second note saying “Super busy, but I’ll get to it.” than radio silence
- Family & health come first: No customer or job matters more than family and your health
