Business Intelligence Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

We are looking for an outstanding Business Intelligence Engineer to help manage our ever growing information needs and support analysis of increasingly complex business questions within the advertising space. You will join our agile team at our development centre in Edinburgh, Scotland, where you will be focused on building understanding and measurement of how our teams deliver value to customers and guide decisions around product direction.

You will seek out hidden and valuable correlations between the easily-measurable and the hard-to-quantify, within immense volumes of real-world data. You will formulate quantitative metrics which allow us to track our progress, devise creative measurement and audit solutions which allow us to track those metrics with minimal cost and human effort, and design, build, and maintain the data pipelines and datasets which provide the foundation for your work. Your work will influence business, product, and technical direction, steering broader solutions in support of these objectives. This role is expected to push the boundaries of measurability without sacrificing rigor.

The position offers exceptional opportunities for you to grow your skill set, build your understanding of data science, and really make a difference for our customers and our business by inventing, enhancing and building world class analysis and measurement systems, delivering results, working on exciting and challenging projects.
