Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Senior Analytics Engineer role stands out in SaaS because it sits at the intersection of product, go-to-market, and platform decision-making inside an AI-driven marketing technology business. In SaaS, where usage data and lifecycle signals are foundational, analytics engineering becomes the connective tissue between raw event streams and the metrics leaders rely on to steer roadmap and commercial strategy.
From a career standpoint, the remit maps closely to modern SaaS data practice: building governed semantic layers, standardising metrics, and shipping executive-facing reporting that can be trusted across teams. Experience with dbt/Looker-style modelling, scalable pipelines, and cross-functional metric definition tends to transfer well across SaaS companies with subscription funnels, multi-channel engagement, and experimentation-heavy product environments.
This position is likely best suited to someone who enjoys translating ambiguous stakeholder questions into durable data products, and who is comfortable balancing hands-on SQL/data modelling with influencing how an organisation measures performance. It also fits professionals who prefer operating close to engineering and product counterparts, taking ownership of data definitions and quality rather than only producing one-off analyses.
