Senior Analytics Engineer - Finance

Help make the world more hospitable The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences. You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building. If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here. About the role Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this: We're looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to lead the data architecture behind our most business-critical financial work: billing, regulatory reporting (EMI), SOX compliance, financial forecasting and executive reporting. You'll design the data solutions that finance, payments and audit teams depend on, set the standards for how analytics work ships, and mentor others on the team. This is a shape-the-team role. You'll have real influence over how we work, what we build and the pace we move at. We expect you to use AI fluently where it adds leverage in modeling, code review and debugging, and to apply clear judgment on where it doesn't. Responsibilities • Lead the architecture and development of high-impact data models in dbt. • Architect data solutions across business-critical financial workflows, including billing, regulatory reporting (EMI), SOX compliance, financial forecasting and executive reporting. • Mentor analytics engineers and review code to uphold standards across the team. • Find and fix performance bottlenecks across the data stack. • Translate business problems into clean, efficient data solutions in close partnership with stakeholders. • Set team-wide standards for documentation, CI/CD, observability and testing. • Set the team's norms for where AI belongs in our workflow, from model development to code review, and where human oversight stays non-negotiable. Requirements • 5+ years in analytics engineering or a similar role, with a track record of designing data models that hold up to cross-functional use. • Deep, hands-on expertise with dbt, SQL and Python on a modern data platform (Databricks or equivalent). • Strong grasp of pipeline orchestration, testing frameworks and the practices that keep them healthy at scale. • Comfortable setting technical direction, mentoring engineers and working closely with finance, payments and audit stakeholders. You can explain a trade-off clearly and influence the decision that follows. • You use AI hands-on in your day-to-day technical work and can show specific examples of how it has changed the way you build, review or debug data models. • You catch AI's errors before anything ships, including hallucinations, overconfident answers and plausible-but-wrong code, and you have a clear sense of where human oversight stays non-negotiable.

Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company. We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems. A few things that define how we work: • High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn’t a detailed playbook for everything, and that’s part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding. • Change is constant. We’re growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive. • We’re remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together. • AI is an integral part of our processes. It’s not here to steal people’s jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We’re motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company. If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know. We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic. One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience. If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you. Find more English Speaking Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
