We are looking for an Analytics Engineer to join our Payments Data team. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and analytics, enabling high-quality, reliable data solutions that support electronic payments across retail and business banking.

The successful candidate will work within a small, collaborative team responsible for managing and optimising payments data across EFT, Debi Check, immediate payments, Pay Shap, and international payments.

• Exposure to large-scale data warehouse environments
• Experience in retail, fintech, or payments (payments experience advantageous but not essential)
• The ability to work cross-functionally with analysts and engineering teams
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to data quality and structure
