Job description
Skin + Me is a mission driven start-up with seriously big skin goals.
We’re on the lookout for a strategic and impact-driven Analytics Engineer to join our team. This hybrid role is based three days a week at our Paddington HQ (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday), with the flexibility to work remotely on the remaining two days.
About the role:
In this role, you’ll be the foundational technical pillar for Analytics & Data Engineering across Skin + Me, Hair + Me, and Renew + Me.
This is a high-leverage, IC role where you will be the primary architect of our data models and the guardian of our engineering standards. You’ll be the “builder-in-chief,” transforming raw data across commercial, operations, and marketing into the strategic engine that powers our growth. You will report directly to the Director of Data and act as a critical thought partner in scaling our technical landscape.
What you’ll do:
- Take ownership of our dbt project: You will design, build and maintain the core data models that define our business logic, ensuring they are modular, tested, and high-performance.
- Build for scale: Design and implement data foundations that not only serve Skin + Me but are easily extensible across existing and future business units.
- Operational Excellence: You’ll help to optimize warehouse performance (caching, clustering, query tuning) and ensure our pipelines are resilient with minimal downtime.
- Bridge the Gap to ML: Partner with the Director to productionise predictive models, ensuring our outputs are fed by robust, low-latency features.
- Champion Engineering Culture: Implement best practices across version control workflows, data contracts, and documentation.
How you’ll work:
- Autonomy & Challenge: You will be expected to execute with minimal technical guidance. More importantly, you will be expected to challenge the status quo—if a proposed architecture won’t scale, you’ll be the one to flag it and propose the alternative.
- Collaborative Impact: You’ll work closely with the wider business to develop requirements for operational data changes, ensuring our analytical needs are “baked in” to upstream product shifts.
- Strategic Influence: While a technical IC, you will contribute directly to our medium-to-long-term data strategy, helping decide which technologies and processes will carry us through the next phase of growth.
- Innovation & Automation: Actively champion and implement emerging technologies, including AI/ML and LLMs, to automate and optimize the data workflow—from ingestion to governance—driving efficiency and reducing the cost-to-serve for the data platform.
- Agility & Resilience: Thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, demonstrating a high degree of adaptability and resilience in the face of shifting commercial priorities inherent to a high-growth DTC business.
Tech we’re (currently) using:
- AWS RDS
- AWS athena/presto, S3
- AWS glue
- Superset
- Airbyte
- DBT

- Free Breakfast & Lunch – It’s important you are well fuelled for the day so we’ve got your breakfast and lunch covered. Plus drinks and snacks are available too!
- Hybrid working to give you flexibility – We are all remote on Wednesday and Thursday. When we are in the office on Monday, Tuesday and Friday our core hours are 10-4. If you’re an early bird you can do 7-4, and if you’re a night owl 10-7 is fine too.
- Equity – We offer a competitive salary and a generous share award package that means every employee has a stake in the business. We really are all in this together
- Health and wellbeing focus – We offer a healthcare cash plan, cycle to work schemes plus free healthy breakfast and lunch in the office. We’ll be sure to always prioritise your physical and mental health.

- For working parents, we’re proud to offer assistance, helping you save on nursery fees. The workplace nursery benefit allows you to save tax and National Insurance on the full cost of your nursery fees each month.
