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.

Who we are

N26 has reimagined banking for today's digital world. Technology and design empower everything we do and it's how we are building the global banking platform the world loves to use.

We've eliminated physical branches, paperwork, and hidden fees for an elegant digital experience and supreme savings. Giving people the power to live and bank their way is what gets us out of bed in the morning and inspires the work that we do.

We are headquartered in Berlin with offices in multiple cities across Europe, including Vienna and Barcelona, and a 1,500-strong team of more than 80 nationalities.

• Own and evolve our core dbt services - maintain CI/CD infrastructure, drive performance improvements, enforce quality standards, and support a large community of data practitioners building on top of it
• Be the engineering interface for the analytics engineering community - unblock practitioners, review and improve shared patterns, and raise the bar on project quality, model structure, and SQL craft
• Improve data quality and governance infrastructure - contribute to services covering anomaly detection, freshness monitoring, drift detection, and data contract enforcement
• Shape data governance practices - drive standards around data ownership, data product thinking, and contract-first design across the data mesh
• Contribute to our Python based tooling - feature extensions, integrations, and observability utilities; write well-tested, maintainable Python that practitioners can build on
• Stay close to the platform - collaborate with our data platform team on the direction of shared infrastructure, representing the analytics perspective in technical decisions

• Problem solving - you scope problems quickly, find root causes rather than treating symptoms. You know when to ship a pragmatic fix and when to go deeper
• Solid Python - typed, tested, maintainable code; you can contribute to shared tooling
• Strong SQL - you can read and reason about query plans, identify performance bottlenecks, and set a high standard for the SQL that goes into production
• Community and craft orientation - you're energised by helping others do better work; you can influence without authority and make good practices stick
• Track record of impact - you've improved reliability, quality, or productivity in a data organisation and can speak concretely about what changed
• dbt at scale - macros, hooks, incremental models, project structure, CI/CD integration; you've worked on large, multi-team dbt projects and understand the tradeoffs
• What matters more than any specific tool: we care more about how you think than what you've used. We want someone who can read an unfamiliar code base, understand what it does, identify what's wrong or missing, and fix it - and who can bring others along with them.

• Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe's most talked about disruptors .
• Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
• As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.
• Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.
• A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, experiences, and backgrounds.
• A relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
