Job Description

The complexity of online delivery, differences in the economics and dynamics of the cities we operate in and vast amounts of data make our work truly interesting!
Now we are looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to join our Courier & Logistics product team. You can work in Helsinki, Berlin, or Stockholm.
About the role
The role is focused on the business needs - you’ll be working within a cross-functional team, making sure your teammates get the insights needed for their operations.

• You would get to work in a company culture where we take ownership beyond the obvious, do common things uncommonly well, think big but stay humble, do right by people, treat others kindly and justly, and recognize that if we don’t learn, we won’t stay still but fall behind and keep in mind that Luke was Yoda’s greatest achievement.

FAQ
- I’ve never worked with workflow automation tools like Airflow or Azkaban before. Is this a blocker for me to be an Analytics Engineer?
You’ll get to build and maintain data pipelines, which will require you to work with Airflow on a regular basis. Experience with such tools is highly appreciated but not a must as we are willing to teach you. All you need is the desire to learn, and learning will be even easier if you have worked with Python before.
- What is the split between dashboard development and data plumbing tasks?
The focus of this role is on building the basis for reporting needs, hence the majority of the tasks will be related to creating datasets, wrangling data, and implementing metrics. At the same time, there will be opportunities to create dashboards in order to serve the needs of stakeholders.
- Will I work with raw data or participate in data collection?
You will definitely not be alone in gathering data, our dear Data team consisting of data modeling engineers and data engineers will be your closest contacts in such data collection and modeling tasks.
