About the role:
We are looking for an Analytics Engineer to join our Payments Data team. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and analytics, enabling high-quality, reliable data solutions that support electronic payments across retail and business banking.

The successful candidate will work within a small, collaborative team responsible for managing and optimising payments data across EFT, DebiCheck, immediate payments, PayShap, and international payments.
You will partner closely with analysts, data warehouse specialists, and broader payments and card data teams, contributing to scalable data models and robust data pipelines in a cloud-based environment.

- Exposure to large-scale data warehouse environments
- Experience in retail, fintech, or payments (payments experience advantageous but not essential)
