Analytics Engineer

As part of the MONY Group Data Team, our goal is to drive business growth by building and maintaining data products that power analytics and personalised customer experiences. We work closely with teams across the business to ensure that data is clean, reliable, and accessible for data-driven decision-making.

In Data AI Engineering we are a cross-functional team of engineers and scientists, responsible for data integration with the group's operational data stores, providing a common data model which serves as a source of truth for financial reporting, analytics and CRM, AI-infused applications for internal and external data products, and the tools and services used by other data teams to improve their secure data handling practices and development experience.

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

Our team has adopted coding agents and AI tooling across the board - but like most teams, we're caught in the tension between day-to-day delivery and investing the time to truly unlock what AI can do for our workflows. This role exists to break that deadlock.

As an Analytics Engineer, you will be the driving force behind making our analytics engineering workflows AI-first. You'll bring a strong analytics engineering foundation - you know dbt, BigQuery, and data modelling inside out - but your primary mission is to tenaciously push the boundaries of what we can automate. Data pipeline maintenance, bug fixes, refactors, governance, testing: your goal is to systematically make these faster, cheaper, and increasingly autonomous, freeing the team to focus on the high-value feature builds that move the business forward.

You'll work hands-on as an analytics engineer while simultaneously building the AI-augmented workflows, tooling, and practices that multiply the output of the entire team. If you're the kind of engineer who sees a repetitive task and immediately thinks about how to make an agent do it, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

AI-First Workflow Design

• Design, build, and iterate on AI-augmented workflows for analytics engineering tasks, pushing well beyond basic autocomplete into agentic automation.

• Build and maintain coding agent customisations (e.g. AGENTS.md, skills, MCP servers, custom hooks) that encode our team's domain knowledge and standards.

Analytics Engineering

• Build and maintain scalable data models using BigQuery SQL and dbt fusion

• Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and business stakeholders to understand data needs and deliver robust, production-ready solutions.

• Develop and maintain data quality standards and contribute to data governance practices.

Enablement & Engineering Practice

• Champion AI-first practices across the data team, coaching engineers on effective use of coding agents and AI tooling.

• Contribute to and improve our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and deployment practices (Cloud Run).

• Stay relentlessly up to date on the fast-moving AI tooling landscape and advocate for adoption where it delivers genuine value.

• Strong SQL and solid understanding of data modelling (e.g. Kimball, wide/flat).

• Professional dbt experience - you've built and maintained production dbt projects.

• Experience with BigQuery or another cloud data warehouse.

• Demonstrable, hands-on experience using AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to meaningfully accelerate your own work - not just autocomplete, but agentic workflows.

• Self-directed and tenacious - this role requires someone who will push forward without needing to be told what to automate next.

• Strong communication skills - you can explain AI-driven approaches to both technical and non-technical colleagues and bring people along.

• Comfortable with version control (Git & GitHub), CI/CD concepts, and collaborative development workflows.

Desirable:

• Experience building or configuring AI agent workflows (e.g. custom agents, tool/function calling, MCP servers, Claude Agent SDK).

• Familiarity with Terraform, Docker, Cloud Run, or similar infrastructure tooling.

• Experience writing Airflow DAGs for data orchestration.

• Exposure to Python for scripting and automation.

• Familiarity with GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD platforms.

• Experience with data governance and data quality frameworks.

• Tableau or other data visualisation tools.

• Pension up to 6% employer contribution
• Bonus scheme
• Digital Doctor on demand
• Work from anywhere scheme - 2 weeks per year
• Financial coaching
• Mental health platform access
