Our beliefs: Our goal at Qonto is to create a warm and welcoming environment where individuals from all walks of life can truly thrive.

Join us in our mission to build a workplace that celebrates diversity and embraces individuality. Discover the steps we took to create a discrimination-free hiring process.
Our career track: At Qonto, we cherish your unique skills, breaking away from conventional labels like "senior" or "director," and instead, offering personalized career tracks and expertise levels from 1 to 9 that truly celebrate your impact!
To achieve Qonto's ambitious goals, we created the Data team, responsible for overseeing data analysis, engineering, and science. In just two years, our data department has grown from 5 to 60 people, and we continue expanding!
What is our Data platform? Its main function is to provide high-quality and available data to all Qonto employees using the Modern Data Stack (Kafka, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Tableau). Specifically, it provides data to all data teams: BI, Data Science, and Data Products.
⭐ Mission: As a Lead Analytics Engineer, you will collaborate closely with the Data Engineering team to build our next-generation Data Platform.
⚡ Impact: You will lead and grow the Analytics Engineering team who stages the relevant transformations from the Data lake to the Data warehouse to ensure efficient data models. Your team will be in charge of building up core, staging and reference tables to support data driven decision across Qonto.
👩💻🧑💻As a Lead Analytics Engineer at Qonto
50% of your time will be about:
• Leading a team (up to 5 people) of talented Analytics Engineers. Below are the kinds of topics that will make your time at Qonto super interesting!
- Why is this kanban card (consisting of cleaning clients' conversations verbatim to make it available to data scientists) taking so much time?
-Is the new fact_subscriptions table that Jessica, your Analytics Engineer just developed good according to the standard? Should the standard be updated?
-The Head of Growth asked you to prioritize a new table recording the partnership, while the Head of Financial Planning count on you to gather all forecasts in one table. You have limited resources, but you need to prioritize
-Ouch, dbt jobs didn’t run gracefully last night. Apparently, a raw table schema changed overnight. How should your team react?
• Nurturing your team by providing regular and constructive feedback, conducting 1:1 sessions and pairing sessions, offering mentorship, and conducting quarterly progress reviews.
• Fostering collaboration with Data Engineers, Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Product Owners and other business partners.
And because we strongly believe that our team leads need to remain close to the field,
the other 50% of your time will be about being hands-on:
• Contributing to modeling, documenting, and testing the staging, core and reference data layers:
- Staging tables: raw data cleaned and normalized
- Core data table layer: all granular data objects (clients, bank accounts, transactions, etc.)
- Reference data table layer: wide tables that are self-sufficient for analytics need
- While providing guidance and helping your Analytics Engineers colleagues produce the best of outcomes.
• Provide support to data consumer teams by :
- Building staging, core & reference models upon request
- Guiding BIs in their construction of the datamart layer, as well as their migration of Tableau dashboard queries on the revamped data model
