Senior Analytical Engineer
Job description
Do you want to work in a supportive environment that moves fast? 5th French provider in 10 years, Octopus Energy is a renewable energy provider that acts as a true spearhead for the electro-tech revolution.
How do we do it? We can't revolutionize the world by working like everyone else. We try not to take ourselves too seriously; here we operate in an environment without too many processes or rules. The most important thing is not just to follow the movement, but to create it.
We don't want to create company clones. We want you, with your talents, your perspectives, and your unique skills.
We are looking for an experienced and motivated Senior Analytical Engineer to join the transverse data team at Octopus Energy France.
The data function in France brings together about fifteen data analysts, data scientists, and data engineers, embedded in different business areas. This transverse team ensures the construction of solid, shared, and reliable foundations.
You will join this team where you will work on the analytical foundations, the semantic layer, and data governance. This is a transverse role that will interface with business needs and other data practitioners.
Data Modeling and Semantic Layer:
Design, develop, and maintain shared data models, serving business needs (especially financial) and management.
Be a technical point of reference for all financial and energy purchasing teams.
Structure and organize data governance to ensure a single source of truth.
Ensure Data Quality and Standards:
Be responsible for the quality of our data models through the dissemination of best practices and monitoring the quality of our data.
Avoid redundancies and accumulation of technical debt to have a clean lineage.
Manage incidents on our most critical models.
Foster and Develop the Data Community:
Lead or co-lead training, coaching, and dedicated routines for data teams.
Be a driving force for the AI transition of our stack: creation of skills, demonstration of examples and use cases.
Ensure code quality through code reviews (PR reviews) on dbt models and SQL queries produced by other data practitioners.
Ensure International Coordination:
Ensure consistency and act as a liaison for common practices within the Octopus Energy group.
Contribute to the improvement of our shared models.
Profile Sought:
Experience & Technical Skills
Minimum of 5 years of experience in analytical engineering, analytical data engineering, or analytics with a strong technical orientation.
Advanced proficiency in dbt: experience on real-scale projects, with management of structure, documentation, and tests.
SQL expert — capable of optimizing complex queries on a modern data warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalent).
Comfortable with Python for automation and analytical scripts, with knowledge of good development practices.
Comfortable with data visualization tools and programmatic management practices for these tools (e.g., “dashboard-as-a-code”).
Good knowledge of analytical architecture patterns: Kimball, Data Vault, Medallion, or hybrid — and especially the reasoning behind each choice.
Experience in data quality management.
Academic background in statistics/mathematics/economics, specialized degree in data, or engineering school with a strong aptitude for data.
Interpersonal Aptitudes and Skills
Rigor and attention to detail: data quality starts with code quality.
Pedagogy and desire to upskill others to avoid creating silos.
Comfortable in a decentralized environment: you must convince through the quality of your work and the clarity of your recommendations to data practitioners.
Enjoy dynamic environments: Octopus Energy evolves quickly and needs can change.
Our Stack:
Visualization: Lightdash and Streamlit
Modeling: dbt
Lakehousing: Databricks (on AWS)
Orchestration: Airflow
Code: Git
AI: Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini
Languages: fluent in spoken and written English to interact with our international colleagues.
What you will find here:
The position is based in Paris with 3 days in the office and 2 days of remote work.
