Area Lead Analytics Engineer (Limited-time Relocation Bonus)

We are looking for an Area Lead Analytics Engineer to shape the technical direction of analytics engineering across our Revenue, Purchase, and Orders domains.

The Revenue, Purchase & Orders area sits at the heart of some of the most critical customer journeys and commercial systems in Vinted’s Marketplace business unit. Its scope spans Revenue, including pricing and advertising; Purchase, including checkout and transaction flows; and the Orders lifecycle, from a successful purchase through order management and completion.

Together, these domains form a broad and highly interconnected data landscape. As Area Lead Analytics Engineer, you will help ensure that the underlying data foundations evolve coherently and at scale. You will work across domains to identify shared concepts and dependencies, address structural data and architectural challenges, and guide the area toward a more scalable, consistent, and sustainable data ecosystem.

This is a senior Individual Contributor role combining hands-on engineering with architectural leadership. You will partner closely with area and domain leads, define technical standards and reusable patterns, build scalable data products, and reduce systemic complexity as our data ecosystem grows.

Your impact will extend beyond the area itself. You will help raise engineering quality and consistency across the wider Data Science & Analytics (DSA) function, working closely with Analytics Engineers, Data Scientists, Decision Scientists, Engineering, Product, and Business teams.

• Set the long-term technical direction across Revenue, Purchase, and Orders.
• Design and build scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient data products.
• Identify cross-domain dependencies and ensure shared concepts are consistently represented in data models and architecture.
• Define standards for data modeling, semantic layers, event data, observability, reliability, and testing.
• Lead technical decisions for cross-domain initiatives and create reusable patterns and architectural guardrails.
• Drive improvements in data quality, maintainability, ownership, cost efficiency, and operational excellence across DSA.
• Partner with Engineering on event-driven and behavioral data, from event definitions and instrumentation to reliable downstream models.
• Mentor other ICs through technical guidance, design reviews, and code reviews.

• Experience designing and operating production-grade data models, pipelines, and data products at scale.
• Strong expertise in SQL, data modeling, semantic layers, and transformation frameworks such as dbt.
• Experience with modern cloud data platforms and technologies such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Iceberg, GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Strong understanding of testing, lineage, data quality, observability, reliability, query performance, and cloud cost governance.
• Experience working with event and behavioral data, including event schemas, instrumentation, and translating them into reliable analytical models.
• Experience with orchestration tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or similar, and a practical understanding of event-driven architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to establish technical standards, reusable patterns, or architectural guardrails that improve how multiple teams work.
• Strong systems thinking, with the ability to identify dependencies, repeated patterns, architectural risks, and opportunities to simplify complex data ecosystems.
• Evidence of cross-team technical influence and impact at scale, whether through architectural change, scaling engineering practices, or raising the maturity of a data function.
• Ability to communicate technical trade-offs clearly, influence without formal authority, and mentor other ICs.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with ML-facing workloads, feature stores, and BI platforms such as Looker, Tableau, or Power BI is valuable.
• Experience in marketplace or e-commerce, modern warehouse/lakehouse architectures, data mesh, or data products serving both analytics and ML workloads.
