Analytics Engineer
About Pleo
Messy spend management is tricky business. And tedious processes are a lose-lose situation for all involved, not just finance. At Pleo, we're changing that. We build spend solutions that make managing money seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike - with a vision to help all businesses ‘go beyond’.
The word ‘Pleo’ actually means ‘more than you’d expect’, and living by that mantra has been the secret to our success over the last 10 years.
Now, we’re at a pivotal moment in our journey; every move we make has a direct impact on our 40,000+ customers, our business, and our collective success. We need people who take pride in uncovering customer needs, who turn complex problems into simple solutions, challenge the way things are done (respectfully), and always aim high. With great ambitions driving us forward, we can’t say we’ve got this whole thing figured out. And frankly, that’s half the fun! What we can say is that we’re a driven, progressive, and, importantly, a kind bunch of 850+ people from over 100 nationalities, all committed to delivering the future of business spending, together.
About the role
Pleo's Intelligence function covers the full analytical picture - product behaviour, GTM performance, commercial data science, financial reporting, and operational intelligence. The Analytics Engineers who serve these teams own the data modelling layer that all of it runs on: dbt models, metric definitions, and semantic layer contributions that analysts, product teams, and AI tools depend on to get consistent, trustworthy answers.
You'll be embedded in the Product Intelligence team, building the tracking, experimentation, and data modelling foundations that make product data trustworthy and self-serve. You'll join a close-knit team actively migrating our analytics stack onto a new Analytics Warehouse and Omni, moving off legacy tools like Looker and Hippocampus. If you want to build the infrastructure that other people's product decisions run on rather than just report on what exists, this is the opportunity for you.
Who you'll work with and reporting to
You will report to an Analytics Manager leading Product Intelligence and Growth Intelligence. You'll partner closely with Product Managers, Product Analysts, and Engineering to get tracking, experimentation, and metric definitions right from the ground up. You'll also engage with the broader Analytics Engineering community across Pleo to drive shared standards, especially around the semantic layer that keeps metrics consistent across the organization.
What you'll be doing
Build and maintain dbt models in our new Analytics Warehouse, using a clean, layered architecture and migrating logic off legacy tools as you go.
Own tracking plan implementation and QA directly in Segment and Amplitude in close partnership with Product and Engineering.
Support experimentation by modelling assignment and outcome data into structured formats that analysts and PMs can query directly.
Define and document metrics in our semantic layer, ensuring a single authoritative definition so downstream BI tools and AI applications yield consistent answers.
Apply AI-augmented data modelling practices as a standard part of how you write, review, and migrate code.
Partner with Product Managers and Analysts to turn one-off questions into durable, reusable data models.
Maintain data quality in your domain through dbt tests, freshness SLAs, and proactive monitoring.
What you bring
Solid SQL and dbt experience, with a clear comfort owning models end to end.
Working knowledge of event-based tracking tools like Segment or Amplitude.
Experience with Git-based development workflows, including opening and reviewing pull requests.
Clear communication skills to explain data definitions and structures to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Genuine day-to-day use of AI tooling as part of your standard coding and workflow routine.
Comfort navigating ambiguity and untangling legacy logic to build modern
