Senior / Principal Analytics Engineer

At SEEK, we’re on a mission to help people live more fulfilling and productive working lives, and to help organisations succeed. Data is at the heart of how we do this — powering experimentation, personalisation, and intelligent product experiences used by millions across Asia-Pacific every day.

We’re looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to join our Experimentation team — a pivotal role within SEEK’s AI & Analytics Data Products ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, experimentation methodology, and analytics, helping SEEK make evidence-based decisions at scale. SEEK uses a best-in-class experimentation platform, with this role contributes to building the data pipelines, models, and analytics layer that make experimentation trustworthy, scalable, and actionable.

The Role

As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you’ll build the trustworthy, scalable data assets that underpin SEEK’s experimentation and product analytics. You’ll transform raw data into well-modelled, documented, and tested datasets that data scientists and analysts can rely on to measure impact and drive insight.

You’ll work side-by-side with data scientists, platform engineers, and product teams to bring experiments to life — designing pipelines, solving data challenges, and shaping the analytics and data layer of SEEK’s experimentation platform.

This role blends technical depth with real business impact — perfect for someone who loves working with data that actively powers decisions, not just describes them.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and operate scalable SQL and dbt models for experimentation data (assignment, exposure, and outcomes).
• Build reliability and observability into every dataset through validation frameworks, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Partner with data scientists to enable trustworthy experiment analysis and design.
• Shape SEEK’s experimentation platform, implementing scalable data models and metric frameworks.
• Investigate and resolve data issues, identifying root causes and implementing lasting fixes.
• Document, govern, and communicate — ensuring data assets are understood, accessible, and fit for purpose.
• Lead by example, mentoring team members and contributing to analytics engineering craft and standards.
• Collaborate across SEEK, engaging with central Data teams to align practices, tools, and best-in-class engineering standards.

About You
You’re passionate about high-quality data, strong engineering fundamentals, and the role analytics plays in shaping product strategy. You enjoy solving complex data problems and thrive in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.

You’ll Bring:
Advanced SQL skills and experience building production-grade data transformations.
Strong dbt experience (or equivalent) with focus on testing, reliability, and scale.
Experience working in cloud-based data environments (e.g. Databricks, Snowflake, or BigQuery).

• Working knowledge of Python or PySpark for analysis or data validation.
• Solid grasp of analytics engineering practices — version control, documentation, testing, and quality.
• Statistical literacy to support experiment design and data validation.
• Ability to translate analytical and experimentation needs into robust, well-modelled data assets.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• Confidence in leading technical design discussions, mentoring peers, and contributing to best practice evolution.

Bonus Points For:
Experience with experiment data, assignment and metrics pipelines.
Familiarity with Tealium, Segment, or other tracking systems.

• Exposure to CI/CD for analytics (e.g. automated testing, dbt deployments).
• Experience contributing to shared data infrastructure or governance initiatives.

The Team
You’ll report to SEEK’s Head of Experimentation and collaborate daily with:

• Peers: Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Tracking Specialists, Analysts
• Key Partners: AI Platform Services, Product Analytics, Product Management

Together, you’ll continue building SEEK’s evolving SEEK’s experimentation capabilities — enabling faster, more confident decision-making across the business.

• Tailored career development planning 
• Professional development sessions with industry leading guest speakers
• Support of flexible working, including a mix of office and work from home days depending on your role
• Annual Performance Bonus Plan
