Role

Who you are

University degree in a quantitative field (e.g. Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering or similar)
2-6 years of experience working as a data analyst, data scientist, business intelligence analyst/engineer or analytics engineer
You have excellent SQL skills and experience with Python in a professional environment, ideally, you have experience with dbt and Airflow
You are proficient in at least one business intelligence tool (for example, Looker, Metabase, Tableau, PowerBI)
You have strong experience in at least one of the following and are willing to stretch into the other areas:
Building data pipelines for analytics, modelling and transforming data in the database/data warehouse, creating reports, dashboards and other data products
Using data analysis, insights and visualisations to influence high-impact decisions and solve complex business problems
Applying data science techniques to solve business problems (for example, A/B testing, forecasting, ML modelling)
You have what it takes to work in a high-growth startup environment: you are able to own and drive projects end to end with minimal inputs, you deliver fast, you are reactive and flexible, and you can work on more than one project at a time
An understanding of financial services and the investment world is an advantage, but it’s not required. A willingness to learn about it is a must, though!

What the job involves

Contribute to the development of the analytics and data science capabilities, promote data-driven decision making and help to build the data platform
Own a wide range of tasks, from building data pipelines and loading data into the data warehouse to creating and presenting insights on customer behaviour
Work with various teams and domains, including growth, operations, product, finance, to enable data-driven decisions, build tooling or generate insights

Our take

Lightyear operates a stock trading app that provides users with commission-free investment opportunities. It aims to reduce the barrier of entry to investing (users can invest from £1) and simplify the seemingly complicated nature of investing.

The company differentiates itself by making investing extremely easy. In only a couple of minutes, users create an investment account and start investing. Moreover, Lightyear aims to provide users with intuitive tools that allow them to make informed decisions.

Lightyear has attracted an impressive level of investment which has been used to fuel its expansion into European markets. It is further consolidating its success with a much-demanded web app, allowing its users to manage their portfolio at a desk rather than just on the small screen.
