Role overview
Summary
As a Senior Analytics Engineer at SumUp, you will be instrumental in shaping the company's data foundation, moving from fragmented pipelines to a world-class data ecosystem. You will partner with various squads to design events, maintain pipelines, model key business domains, and build trusted data products that enable self-serve analytics and AI at scale.
The Run & Grow Tribe of Tribes powers the systems, insights, and experiences that keep millions of merchants engaged, successful, and growing with SumUp across every market we operate in. We're at a genuine inflection point in how we use data, moving from fragmented pipelines to a world-class data foundation built on stable business domains, trusted metrics, and AI-ready data products. This is a greenfield opportunity to shape how data is owned, defined and built at scale, and as our Senior Analytics Engineer, you'll be the person who makes that happen.
What you'll do:
Partner with squads across the tribe on event design and data contracts, maintaining staging pipelines, applying modelling conventions, and keeping domain outputs consistent, tested, and discoverable
Model key business domains, including merchant activity, product adoption, lifecycle events, and risk scoring, building well-documented, quality-assured data products that serve as the trusted source of truth across the organisation
Build and maintain the insights layer on top of governed domains, producing reusable KPI models, funnels, cohorts, and segmentations that Product, Commercial, and AI teams can self-serve with confidence
Implement technical improvements including incremental processing strategies, performance optimisations, and scalable data architecture to support growing data volumes
Contribute to SumUp's broader data domain strategy, helping establish durable ownership, consistent definitions, and a shared catalogue of data products that unlock self-serve analytics and AI at scale
What we're looking for:
Strong, proven experience in analytics engineering or data engineering, with a track record of building and maintaining production data systems
Expert-level SQL skills for complex transformations and query optimisation, with hands-on experience building layered data models in a modern data warehouse or lakehouse (e.g. Snowflake, Iceberg) and solid command of dbt, including testing, documentation, and modelling conventions
Ability to think in terms of business domains, not just tables, translating complex business logic into clean, durable, and reusable data models across entities, events, states, and rules
Comfort working across squads with Product Managers, Engineers, Analysts, and Data Scientists, contributing to data design conversations and helping teams treat data as a first-class deliverable
Deep care for data quality, trust, and discoverability, building models others can rely on, with a proactive mindset around contracts, freshness, observability, and failure scenarios
Why you should join SumUp:
Opportunity to work with SumUppers globally on large-scale fintech products used by millions of businesses worldwide, from our Berlin office. This involves an office-first setup
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: be part of a workplace that values and promotes diversity, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone's perspectives are respected and embraced
