Description
Who We Are
Zilch is a payment tech company on a mission to create the most empowering way to pay for anything, anywhere. Combining the best of debit, credit and savings, we give our customers the option to earn instant cashback or spread the cost of pricier purchases, completely interest free and with no late fees. Pretty great, right?
We started in 2018 with a small team and a big dream - to make credit accessible to all. Since then, we've achieved double unicorn status and taken on more than 5 million customers. There are some exciting projects coming up and we’ve got big growth plans.
Want to join us?
About The Role.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Analytics Engineer to join our growing Data function at a pivotal stage of platform maturity.
This role is central to shaping the next phase of our analytics ecosystem - designing scalable, high-quality decision-making data models, strengthening governance and reliability, and enabling insight-driven decision-making across Product, Risk, Finance, and Commercial teams.
You will operate at the intersection of modelling architecture, workflow reliability, and technical standards, working closely with Data Analysts, Data Engineering, Data Science, Software Engineering, and senior business stakeholders.
This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role with meaningful influence over our data architecture and engineering culture.
If you are excited by building clean, scalable analytics systems in a fast-moving fintech environment - and want real ownership rather than narrow ticket execution - this role is for you.
Day-to-day responsibilities.
