Analytics Engineer

Ready to help us learn from and use our data in a fast-growing, profitable, bootstrapped startup?

We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer to build and own our entire data function from the ground up. You’ll be our first full-time data hire, working directly with the leadership team to turn our growing data assets into insights that drive real business decisions.

If you’re excited by the idea of building a data function that powers every part of our business, we should talk.

What we do

At gocertify we help retailers run more profitable discounts with tools to deliver smarter and more meaningful rewards. Our tech allows brands to lock offers to 24+ verified groups, including students and key workers – helping convert first-time shoppers and build loyal, repeat-purchase communities.

Trusted by over 450 leading brands like Samsung, Sainsbury’s, and FARFETCH, we’re used by 2m+ shoppers a year, driving £60m+ in retail sales. All while remaining profitable and bootstrapped since we were founded in 2020.

With a lean, talented team, YoY growth that places us in the top 25% of “Series A” startups (despite being bootstrapped), a rebrand in progress, and US and EU expansion in 2025, there’s no better time to join….Oh and you get meaningful equity too!

Working at gocertify

We’re a team of 18, growing to 23, working remotely, but with access to coworking spaces across the UK, including London where we optionally meet up. We bring the whole team together for socials and team coworking days too.

We work hard, have fun and treat each other with respect and kindness. We’re always working to improve our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion (D,E & I) and know that difference will help us succeed as colleagues and as a company.

What the job involves

• Be the architect of our entire data stack – including BigQuery, DBT, Fivetran and Metabase
• Turn business questions into data solutions that help every team make smarter decisions
• Build and maintain data models that just work (because clean, reliable data makes everyone happy!)
• Create dashboards and reports that help us constantly identify and solve problems, not just show numbers
• Partner with teams across the business to understand their needs (we love curiosity and people who ask questions!) and solve their data challenges
• Shape our data strategy as we grow, including exploring AI/ML possibilities that could transform our business. We have our own custom-built AI agent – imagine having SimilarWeb-style insights across 20,000 retailers at your fingertips to spot opportunities before anyone else
• Document and maintain our data processes and knowledge base
• Champion a data-driven culture across the company (because data is only valuable when it’s used)
• You’ll have full ownership of building and scaling the data function.

Requirements

• Proven extensive track record in data analytics/engineering, ideally in a startup/scaleup where you’ve worn multiple hats
• SQL wizard with experience of modern data stack tools (BigQuery, DBT, Fivetran, Metabase – you know the drill)
• Knack for turning complex business questions into elegant data solutions
• Experience building and maintaining data models that scale
• Strong business sense and ability to work directly with everyone, at all levels
• Track record of making teams more data-driven (and actually enjoying the process)
• Clear communicator who can make complex data concepts simple
• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and challenges evolve

We hope you’re feeling excited about the job description you’re reading. Even if you don’t feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

Location: UK based, working remotely from home. You’ll be required to attend some meetings and events in London at least once a month.
